Welcome to Preparation Concierge, your premier online destination for emergency planning and disaster preparation guidance. Born from a passion for preparedness and a dedication to inform and equip, we’ve embarked on a mission to serve those in urban and suburban settings — the heartbeats of our communities yet often the most vulnerable in times of disaster. Recognizing the gap in practical, accessible preparation resources for the modern dweller, we’ve shifted our focus in 2024 towards delivering invaluable personal product analysis, reviews, and recommendations.

Jason H. Harper, Founder

Driven by the realization of the acute need for urban disaster preparedness resources, Jason founded Preparation Concierge as a response to the challenges he faced while preparing for his own family’s safety.

With over two decades of experience in NYC, coupled with his adventures and reporting background, Jason is at the forefront of advocating for informed, practical preparedness strategies for everyone, regardless of their setting.

Our Journey

Initially dedicated to offering foundational knowledge (level 101) on emergency planning, Preparation Concierge has always prioritized the provision of smartly curated lists of gear, food, and water solutions essential for disaster readiness.

Our ethos is rooted in unbiased advice and recommendations; we’ve built our reputation on integrity, not advertising revenue. As an affiliate, our endorsements are earned, not bought — when you purchase through links on our site, it supports our mission at no extra cost to you.

Why We’re Different

Our unique angle stems from our deep-rooted connections within the outdoor and adventure media sphere. Our founders and contributors are seasoned veterans, having lent their expertise to esteemed publications such as Outside, Men’s Journal, and National Geographic. This background not only enriches our content but ensures that our recommendations are backed by decades of gear testing and outdoor experience.

Testing Our Gear

At the heart of our operation is our commitment to rigorous testing. Our #PoconosTestHouse is more than just a backdrop; it’s where gear undergoes thorough evaluation against the challenges of the East Coast elements. Our process is transparent — we champion gear that we’ve trusted for years, from brands we believe in, to give you the confidence that what works for us will work for you.
