We’re sorry you have to prepare for disasters. Let’s do it together.
Times are tough. You’re not alone.
Society seems to be crumbling in so many ways. Frankly, we’re tired of all the winning.
Let’s get together to talk about our collective doom, but also talk about solutions! Get your feelings out and then feel better by talking through resilience strategies and getting expert prepping advice.
Avoiding our problems is not a solution, so we’re facing them head-on. With humor and a spicy attitude, HCTA Happy Hour is all about having fun even in the darkest times–join us!!
Your host, Jen Heller
Founder of Here Comes the Apocalypse
Hi, I’m Jen.
I’m the batshit insane person who decided to devote her life to disaster prep and created Here Comes the Apocalypse. Thanks for being here.
I’m on a mission to make disaster prep fun and to break it down step-by-step for today’s modern family.
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.
Thanks for being here. Unfortunately, extreme weather is our new reality. It’s essential that we’re all as prepared as we can be.
