Disaster Scout planning

Disaster prep, made simple.

Founded by experience.

Built for action.

I founded Disaster Scout after years working across every corner of disaster and emergency management — from frontline operations and public information to recovery planning and community training.

Now, we bring that experience together to help communities, councils, and businesses prepare, respond, and recover with confidence. Whether it’s through workshops, consulting, or (soon) our live disaster updates app, we make readiness simple and clear — without the overwhelm.

Why we exist

Because information alone isn’t enough

In a disaster, there’s no shortage of official updates — and they save lives. But turning those updates into simple, confident actions for your family, business, or community? That can be confusing in the middle of the chaos.

Disaster Scout bridges that gap — cutting through the noise and turning official information into clear, plain-language steps that work in the real world. With experience across both Australia and Canada, we help neighbourhoods get ready, train council communities, guide small businesses through continuity planning, support families to make confident decisions, and give residents tools to navigate recovery. Our focus is always the same: calm, confident action before, during, and after a disaster.

How we can help right now

We make disaster prep simple, practical, and easy to put into action — whether you’re a neighbourhood group, local council, or small business.

Fun, hands-on sessions that show people exactly what to do before, during, and after a disaster.
