  • Established nonprofitNonprofitFree

    How to prepare for emergencies (opens in a new tab)

    American Red Cross

    Hazard-by-hazard guidance with a lighter touch than the federal pages. The shelter-finding tools during an active event are the part worth knowing about in advance.

  • Established nonprofitNonprofitFree tier

    ARRL, the national association for amateur radio (opens in a new tab)

    ARRL

    Licensing information, band plans, technical references and a club finder. Much of the genuinely useful material is free without membership, including the band plan and the exam session search.

  • Established nonprofitNonprofitFree

    Amateur Radio Emergency Service (opens in a new tab)

    ARRL

    The organised volunteer side of emergency radio. Joining a local ARES group is how a licence turns into something you can actually use under pressure, because you practise on a schedule.

  • Established nonprofitNonprofitFree

    Firewise USA (opens in a new tab)

    NFPA

    Defensible space standards and the zone system around a structure. Zone zero, the first five feet, does more than anything else on the list and costs nothing but a Saturday.

  • Established nonprofitNonprofitFree

    Team Rubicon (opens in a new tab)

    Team Rubicon

    Disaster response volunteering with real training attached. If you want practice rather than theory, deploying with an organised team is how you get it.

  • Established nonprofitNonprofitFree

    Provident Living food storage guidance (opens in a new tab)

    The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

    Decades of practical long-term storage guidance, published openly and used well beyond the church. The three-month rotating supply model is the most workable starting point we have found.
