A fresh approach to disaster and emergency management.
From frontline operations to recovery planning, we help people turn complex disaster information into clear, confident action across Australia and Canada.
Founded by experience. Built for action.
I’ve worked across almost every corner of disaster and emergency management in both Australia and Canada — from leading public information during live events, to running cross-agency drills, supporting recovery efforts, and helping communities get ready before the worst happens.
I started Disaster Scout because I kept seeing the same problem: when a disaster happens, there’s no shortage of official updates — and they save lives — but it doesn’t always feel clear about what it means for you or what you should do next.
Disaster Scout bridges that gap by turning official information into clear, actionable steps you can act on, before, during, and after a disaster.
Preparedness without the overwhelm.
We help people, communities, and organisations get ready, respond faster, and recover stronger — without drowning in jargon or endless alerts.
Workshops – Hands-on training for individuals, families, communities, councils, schools, and businesses.
Mentoring – Plugging the gaps in your plans, from emergency plans to recovery resources.
Education – Short, practical courses you can start using straight away.
From neighbourhood streets to boardrooms.
We’ve worked with councils, community groups, small businesses, emergency services, and families. Whether you’re preparing your own household or coordinating an entire region, we’ll help you take the right steps at the right time.
Calm, confident action at every stage.
Our work is guided by five principles:
Clear, actionable steps – so everyone can understand and act.
Real-world tested – grounded in lived disaster experience.
People over processes – built around how people actually behave in emergencies.
Before, during, and after – readiness isn’t just about response.
Community connection – disasters are easier to navigate when you’re not alone.
