Who runs it

Brace For It is a small, independent business in Sacramento.

The founder is a dad, husband and homeowner who needed a preparation tool and checklist, so he built one. A citizen scientist, K-8 teacher, systems thinker and builder.

95821 came first because it’s home. More ZIPs open when people ask for them and the local data is real: ask for yours.

Why it exists

Forecasts give the weather. They don’t say that soaked ground plus 45 mph gusts brings trees down, or that flood insurance takes 30 days to start.

Individual preparedness, resilient communities. Your home’s steps come first, and every tool points outward: share your status, start a block group, ask for your ZIP.

Four rules we keep

Official data, never our own warnings. Our math stops at Getting close.
Every number shows its source and when it was checked.
Your address is never stored. Flood checks use it once, then drop it.
Partners earn their place. Labeled, shown only after a check, and never able to change your status or your steps.

How it’s paid for

Free, and it stays free

Your status, your plan and every tool
Printing and share links
Official NWS Warnings on the page
No account needed

A text when your ZIP reaches Getting close or the NWS issues anything
