KID'S CORNER

“Will we hide in the bathroom or closet?”

Kids think in simple choices. Adults make the plan real.

This week’s Disaster Smart page reminds families to pick an interior safe place, practice getting there, and talk through what to do before the sky changes.

KID'S CORNER

“How will we talk without our phone?”

Kids notice what adults try to ignore: when the power is out, the phone may not work.

This week’s Disaster Smart page is a simple family prompt to plan for communication when the grid is down: batteries, radios, whistles, and a clear signal plan.

KID'S CORNER

“Where do we go to be safe?”

That is a child’s question. It is also an adult’s responsibility.

This week’s Disaster Smart coloring page is about identifying a safe room and practicing the route before the weather changes.

Leadership isn't measured by how you respond during a crisis—it's measured by the decisions you make long before one strikes.

True preparedness begins in the boardroom, not in the emergency room. Every organization depends on people, facilities, and systems that can be disrupted without warning. That's why disaster readiness deserves the same strategic attention as financial forecasting and succession planning.

When leaders build preparedness into everyday decision-making, they protect their teams, their operations, and their bottom line.

Leadership is measured before the crisis, not during it. In an increasingly uncertain world, preparedness is no longer simply about responding to emergencies—it's about protecting people, supporting business continuity, strengthening communities, and leading with foresight.

Organizations that invest in preparedness position themselves to reduce disruptions and recover more effectively. When your leadership team builds disaster readiness into strategic planning, you're not just protecting your bottom line—you're protecting your people, your mission, and your community's future.

Leadership starts with asking the right questions about disaster preparedness—not waiting for the next headline.

features Stacy Bourne, FAIA on why preparedness belongs in the boardroom. When leaders prioritize disaster readiness, organizations protect their people, maintain continuity, and strengthen their communities.

"Preparedness isn't a single decision. It's a habit. And like most good habits, the earlier you start, the greater the benefit."

Leadership Starts Before the Crisis

When disaster strikes, the organizations that recover fastest are those that prepared beforehand. Not just with supplies or plans, but with leadership that made preparedness a priority.

Stacy A. Bourne, FAIA, has spent 35+ years helping communities rebuild after disasters. She's also lived through it—surviving 12 hurricanes personally. Her message is clear: preparedness belongs in the boardroom.

When disaster strikes, architects have a responsibility to design for what comes next. This essential article from explores how L.A. architects are reimagining resilient homes in the wake of devastating wildfires. It's not just about rebuilding—it's about transforming how we think about community safety. Material choices matter. Design strategies matter. And the decisions made now will protect families for decades to come. Every dollar spent on resilience upfront saves $4 in long-term costs. That's not just smart design—it's a commitment to community.
