What is Disaster Preparedness Live?

Disaster Preparedness Live is AFRN’s weekly broadcast for everyone—from families and volunteers to professionals and responders. Every episode features practical strategies, real-world stories, and life-saving lessons in disaster readiness.

We cover:

  • Preparedness Tips for Home, Work, and Travel
  • Live Q&A with Emergency Experts
  • Community Spotlights from around the country
  • Behind-the-Scenes from AFRN’s operations and response vehicles
  • Special Guest Appearances from partners, responders, and survivors

Whether it’s a wildfire, flood, earthquake, or blackout—we show you how to be ready.

Why It Matters

Disasters strike fast — fires, floods, earthquakes, blackouts — often without warning. Most families aren’t ready. No plan. No supplies. No training.

When the unthinkable happens, it’s not FEMA or fire crews who show up first — it’s you.

Disaster Preparedness Live e
helps you take charge:

  • Understand real risks in your area
  • Learn exactly what to do before, during, and after disaster
  • Protect your family, neighbors, and home
  • Build confidence and skills to respond like a pro

It’s not just about gear. It’s about mindset. It’s about knowing what to do when seconds count.

Because in the first 72 hours, you are your own first responder.
