It Starts With One Moment
The Blackout
The power goes out. Your phone's at 10%. The kids are scared. You have no flashlight, no backup battery, and no plan. How long can your family last?
The Storm
A winter storm knocks out power for 4 days. Roads are impassable. Grocery stores are empty. Do you have enough water, food, and warmth for your family?
The Disconnect
Cell towers are down. You can't reach your spouse at work or your kids at school. Do you have a family communication plan that doesn't depend on your phone?
Most families aren't ready. The data says yours probably isn't either.
72%
of families have no emergency communication plan
59%
couldn't sustain financially for 30 days if income stopped
84%
have never practiced an evacuation route

Teaching preparedness

Family man
Built by a 15-Year Army National Guard Veteran
Josh Rosenthal spent 15 years in the Army National Guard. He was activated for Superstorm Sandy and deployed to the Middle East twice. He's trained for the emergencies most families only worry about.
After his son was born, the stakes changed. He realized his family's safety plan was his job — and he didn't have one that worked without him. He built the Off Grid Game Plan for his own family first. Now it's yours.
Josh lives in the Northeast with his wife Amanda and their infant son Osias. He stores supplies under his staircase. No garage. No backyard. Just a real plan for a real family.
