73 voices, one mission: Transforming disaster preparedness together.

Justin Snair

In just one month, 73 incredible individuals and organizations joined Preppr’s beta waitlist.

When we launched the beta, we knew we’d attract professionals committed to advancing disaster preparedness. But what we didn’t expect was just how diverse and dynamic this group would be. The beta is bringing together expertise from every corner of the emergency management world, creating a community that reflects the complexity—and opportunity—of disaster preparedness.

Here’s the Breakdown

Over half of our beta testers are solo professionals—independent experts looking to integrate cutting-edge tools into their work.

A third represent teams and organizations, highlighting Preppr’s potential to scale collaboration across groups.

And the consultants? They make up 12% of our users, bringing unique needs and perspectives as they work across sectors to support preparedness efforts.

Where Are They Coming From?

  • Public Sector (62%): From local governments to state agencies, public sector professionals dominate the list, showing a clear demand for smarter tools to support community readiness.

  • Private Sector (37%): Strong interest is also coming from industries like healthcare and engineering—and even a major airport looking to enhance its preparedness.

  • International (5%): Preppr’s reach has even gone global, with users from Canada and New Zealand joining the beta.

Government Representation

Here’s a stat that really stood out: 34% of our beta testers signed up with .gov emails.

These are emergency managers and public officials representing 12 states, including:

  • Washington

  • Ohio

  • Texas

  • California

  • Indiana

  • New York

It’s exciting to see this level of interest from public servants across the country.

Other Sectors Joining the Conversation

Beyond government, we’ve seen strong interest from:

  • Universities exploring how Preppr can support research and training.

  • Healthcare organizations preparing for disaster scenarios that impact public health.

  • Nonprofits focused on community resilience.

  • Consultants looking for innovative ways to streamline their work.

Why This Matters

This diversity is exactly what we hoped for. Preppr’s goal isn’t to be just another emergency management tool—it’s to be a platform that works for everyone in the preparedness ecosystem.

To build something truly transformative, we need input from solo practitioners, government officials, private sector leaders, and nonprofits alike. Thanks to this incredible mix of beta testers, we’re already getting perspectives from all sides.

What’s Next?

The beta is officially full, and we’re rolling up our sleeves to make sure it delivers the impact our testers expect.

If you missed the chance to join, don’t worry—this is just the beginning. Preppr’s mission is to reshape how we approach disaster preparedness, and there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved in the future.

To everyone who signed up: thank you for trusting us to be part of your preparedness journey. We can’t wait to work together to build something that changes the game.

Stay tuned—we’re just getting started.

Dear Status Quo

By

Justin Snair

The way we’ve always done preparedness is breaking down—and fast. With $218 billion in U.S. disaster losses in 2024 alone and pressure mounting from every direction, it’s clear that the status quo can’t keep up. This piece is a direct message to the outdated systems, legacy tools, and expensive processes still dominating the field—and a call for something better. Preppr is built for the people actually doing the work. Not to modernize the binder, but to replace it entirely.

What My 9-Year-Old's Game Taught Me About the Future of AI Enabled Disaster Preparedness

By

Justin Snair

I've spent years in emergency management, working with complex tabletop exercises (TTXs) designed to test response capabilities and identify gaps in emergency plans. I've seen exercises that took months to design and required teams of subject matter experts to execute. So imagine my surprise when my 9-year-old son created a TTX in just 20 minutes. Using Preppr.ai, our AI-powered emergency planning platform, he designed a tabletop exercise based on something he understood well: Monopoly. The familiar board game became his framework for exploring how communities respond when resources are limited and decisions have consequences.
