Meet Your Instructor
I’ve spent more than thirty years in fire and emergency services and a
decade teaching families how to communicate when the modern world misses a
beat.
>From grid failures to winter storms, I’ve seen how fast confusion turns to
chaos when people can’t reach each other.
This session gives you the same structure I’ve used for years to keep
families connected when phones slow, stall, or stop.
- 30+ years in fire and emergency services
- Host of the Prep Comms Podcast
- Veteran instructor in family communication planning
- Specialist in simple, non-technical emergency comms
Why Winter Storms Catch Families Off Guard
Every winter, storms knock out power, overload towers, and stall phones
across entire regions.
Most families assume their phone will always work — until the moment it
doesn’t.
- Towers get crowded and texts stop sending
- Chargers fail when the grid blinks off
- Parents can’t reach kids when roads shut down
This live session shows you how to put a simple plan in place before the
first storm hits.
Who This Live Training Helps
If you want your home to stay connected when storms slow or stall your
phones, this session was built for you.

overload
- Families traveling during winter and worried about outages
- Anyone who’s experienced a storm-related phone failure
- Households that want backup communication without complex gear
