A practical workshop for women on how to build a strategic personal emergency preparedness plan. Set your strategy. Claim your power.
About this Event

Power outages, severe weather, flooding, water shortages, a sudden evacuation. Most of us know we should have a plan. Fewer of us actually do.

Set your strategy. Claim your power.

Bug-Out Baddies is a practical workshop for women on how to build a strategic personal emergency preparedness plan. This isn’t a wilderness survival class or a gear haul. It’s about building the mindset, strategy, and plan that make every other survival skill or tool useful. 

What we’ll cover:

• The environmental, economic, & medical emergencies most likely to affect you
• The Prep Wheel: 10 focus areas for building your plan 
• Building a household plan: when to stay, when to go (and where)
• Communication plans for family and the people who depend on you
• Prioritizing preparedness on a realistic budget

Who it’s for:

• Women at any starting point, from “I’ve never thought about this” to “I have a kit but no real plan”
• Women who are: single, partnered, living alone, with roommates, with or without kids
• Women who ordinarily depend on their man in an emergency and are ready to feel empowered on their own
• No experience or equipment needed

You’ll leave with:

• A clearer sense of how to address your potential risks
• A starting framework for your own plan
• A list of next steps you can take right away based on your personal priorities
• Discount codes and links to recommended emergency preparedness items
• A preview of gear and tools you may wish to consider as part of your plan
