Why I built a disaster prep app that actually knows your household

Hey PH 👋

I'm Tori, and I built Bracewise.

The idea came from a simple frustration. I live in San Antonio, where hurricane season and extreme heat are just part of the year, and my household includes eight pets. Every prep resource I found was a generic checklist or a government PDF. None of them knew anything about my situation, and none of them told me when to actually do anything.

So Bracewise does two things differently.

First, it watches live feeds from NWS, USGS, and NIFC, the same sources emergency managers rely on, for the places you care about.

Second, it pairs that with an AI that learns your household. How many people, pets, mobility needs, your home, your location. Then it builds a prep timeline that tells you what to do and the hour to do it, counting down to impact.

An alert tells you something is coming. Bracewise tells you what that means for your family and when to move.

It's live and free to start. I'd love your feedback, especially from anyone in wildfire country, hurricane zones, or anywhere disaster season is real. What would make this genuinely useful for your household?
