PREPARIFIED Start a Pilot

FOR COLORADO COMMUNITIES & AGENCIES

Resilience only works if it reaches the kitchen table.

Colorado has the plans, the grants, and the science. What is hard is getting all of it into the hands of the person who has to act — on a Tuesday, with ninety minutes of warning. PREPARIFIED is that last mile.

THE WHOLE ARC

One app across all three phases.

Most tools cover one slice — an alert, a checklist, a claim form. Resilience is a loop, and the handoffs between phases are where people fall through.

The resilience loop across three phases 01 Prepare Harden the home Defensible space, roof, plan, grant paperwork 02 Respond Act on the warning Step-by-step guidance, evacuation, check-in 03 Recover Document and rebuild Records, claims, fraud warnings, re-entry what was learned hardens the next season
01

Prepare

Harden the home

Defensible space, roof, plan, grant paperwork

02

Respond

Act on the warning

Step-by-step guidance, evacuation, check-in

03

Recover

Document and rebuild

Records, claims, fraud warnings, re-entry

What was learned hardens the next season.

WHERE IT FITS

Colorado already funds the work. The gap is the last mile.

The state has put real money and real policy behind resilience. Nearly all of it depends on a resident actually doing something — and then proving they did it.

WILDFIRE — AVAILABLE NOW

Getting mitigation done, and recorded

COSWAP has put roughly $47 million into mitigation over five years. The Wildfire Resilient Homes grant program, Community Wildfire Defense Grants, and a wildfire-mitigation tax credit of up to $2,500 all sit waiting for homeowners to use them.

PREPARIFIED walks a resident through what their property actually needs, what their Community Wildfire Protection Plan calls for, and what each program wants as evidence — then keeps a dated record of the work. The same record satisfies an insurer under HB 25-1182.

HAIL — NEXT ON THE ROADMAP

The roof program needs a last mile too

Hail is the number one driver of Colorado homeowners premiums. SB26-155 created the Strengthen Colorado Homes Enterprise, funded by a 0.5% policy fee expected to raise up to $100 million over five years for resilient-roof grants. Only around one in ten homes in the Front Range metros has a fortified roof.

That program has to reach homeowners, qualify the work, vet contractors, and measure whether stronger roofs actually reduce claims. It is the same shape as the wildfire problem we already solve. Hail guidance is our next build, not a shipped feature today.

Program descriptions are provided for orientation and reflect publicly available information. PREPARIFIED is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or administered under any of these programs.

FOR A COMMUNITY

Turn a work day into a year-round program.

A fire district or HOA sees who in the neighborhood has hardened their property and who has not — without knocking on every door. Mitigation days get scheduled where the gaps actually are.

Neighbors can see, with permission, who nearby has a plan, who may need help evacuating, and who has equipment to share. Preparedness stops being a private chore and becomes something the street does together.

And when a Community Wildfire Protection Plan is updated, the guidance residents receive updates with it — rather than sitting in a PDF nobody opens.

FOR THE STATE

A channel that is already in people's pockets.

Alerts tell a resident something is happening. They rarely tell them what to do next, and they never follow up. Four ways a state or county could use a guidance layer on top of what it already broadcasts.

Turn a warning into instructions

The same National Weather Service or county alert arrives with the next three things this household should do, based on their property, their people, and their pets — not a generic advisory.

Know who got out

One tap marks a household safe or needing help. During an evacuation that is a live picture for the people running it, instead of a phone tree built after the fact.

See where readiness is thin

Aggregate, de-identified readiness by area shows where grant dollars and outreach would do the most good — and whether last year's spending moved anything.

Carry people through recovery

Re-entry guidance, documentation for claims, and warnings about the contractor fraud that follows every disaster — delivered in the weeks when households are most exposed and least able to research.

THE NINETY MINUTES THAT MATTER

Crews get a plan. Residents get a text.

Incident command runs on training, structure, and rehearsed decisions. The household two ridges over gets a push notification and is left to work out the rest on their own.

PREPARIFIED gives that household something closer to what the crews have — a sequence to follow, written in advance, adjusted for who lives there and what they own, and available when cell service is poor and nobody is thinking clearly.
