  • 84_Why the Same Emergency Affects Households Differently

    84_Why the Same Emergency Affects Households Differently
    Jan 5 2026
    Preparedness isn’t about disasters — it’s about the systems you rely on every day.

    When people think about preparedness, they often focus on hazards: storms, outages, emergencies. But real-world outcomes aren’t determined by the event itself — they’re shaped by how that event disrupts essential systems and how those disruptions interact with household vulnerabilities.

    In this episode of the DisasterClass Podcast, we break down what risk actually means and why the same emergency can affect households very differently. Using a simple, practical framework — Risk = Hazard × Vulnerability × Impact — we explore how power, communications, healthcare, income, and other essential community systems quietly support daily life, and how disruptions to those systems drive real consequences.

    This episode is designed as a mini masterclass to help you:
    • Understand why disasters don’t impact everyone the same way
    • See preparedness beyond gear, supplies, or checklists
    • Recognize how essential systems shape risk
    • Identify household vulnerabilities without fear or panic
    • Make better decisions before stress takes over

    We also walk through three simple questions you can ask tonight to better understand your household risk — no shopping, no downloads, just awareness.

    Preparedness starts with understanding how your life actually works. That’s where real resilience begins.

    2025 flew by — and in this Season 3 Year-in-Review episode, Jason Perez and Pappy (Jason Martin) look back at what made this year memorable: major disasters and real-time event breakdowns, standout guests and episodes, and the key preparedness lessons that kept showing up again and again. We also shift into winter weather preparedness with practical reminders for travel, vehicle readiness, power outages, cold exposure, pets, and checking on vulnerable neighbors.
