Meet Jen

Hi, thanks for visiting. I’m Jennifer (Jen), the batshit insane person who decided to devote her life to disaster prep and created Here Comes the Apocalypse.

I’m on a mission to help as many people as possible prepare for disasters.

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 too 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 full of machismo and quick to assume you’re ready to live off the land.
  • Existing resources are not created for the modern family. Ours are.
  • Unfortunately, extreme weather is our new reality. It’s essential that we’re all as prepared as we can be.

Let’s collaborate on bringing this essential information to modern families everywhere.
