A Note From Jen

I’m Jen, the batshit insane person who decided to devote her life to disaster prep and created Here Comes the Apocalypse.

I set out to prepare my family for disasters in 2017 after my husband’s uncle lost their home in California’s Tubbs Fire. His aunt and uncle barely escaped with only their dogs. It blew my mind that communities in a city like Santa Rosa could be wiped out in a blink of an eye.

I found the existing disaster prep resources so goddamn boring and hard to understand.

What do I do first? What even is a disaster plan?

I embarked on a three-year journey. I read a mountain of books, devoured the internet prepperspace, and I discovered: 

Most disaster prep resources are machismo and quick to assume you’re ready to live off the land.

They’re not created for the modern family. Our resources are.

We’re not going to teach you how to mill flour or skin a squirrel. We’re going to give you practical, achievable tasks that you can actually accomplish. And each of them will increase your resilience in a meaningful way.

Thanks for being here. Unfortunately, extreme weather is our new reality. It’s essential that we’re all as prepared as we can be.
