Calling all leaders, community builders, and frontline workers who have care and justice as values, and are trying to figure out what that means in a climate emergency –

The individualistic, fear-based narratives around emergency preparedness don’t resonate with you.

And the thought of adding ONE MORE thing to your to-do list feels overwhelming.

But pushing preparedness to the bottom of the list - or waiting until you have more capacity - won’t protect you or your community.

You can prepare for the disruptions created by the climate crisis without burning out.

You deserve to feel prepared - not overwhelmed.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to respond to crisis in ways that honor your limits, share the load, and build community care that lasts.

That’s where I come in - to guide you in reimagining preparedness as a collective ecosystem of care, not a solo act of survival.

You’ve done the DEI trainings. You’ve read the books.

You’ve followed the guidance on accessibility and trauma-informed care.

BUT most of it taught you to be the source of care - the one who holds it all for everyone else - not the catalyst for shared, systemic change.

AND none of it talks about the climate.

None of it prepares you for what to do when the systems around you break down - or how to care for yourself, your community, and the land when disaster strikes.

This advice was built in a vacuum - shaped by individualism, saviourism, and extractive care - and it’s burning you out. It leaves you feeling like you’re never doing enough, and like you are not prepared for what's coming.

I’ve helped hundreds of changemakers align their values with their actions by turning to nature for examples of REGENERATIVE CARE.

In this workshop, I’ll show you how to apply that lens to your preparedness practice - so that community care becomes a sustainable, shared responsibility, not something YOU give until there's nothing left.

Yes, I want to learn regenerative care!

Does this sound like you?

➤ You’re the go-to person for crisis response, community support, or care coordination - but when it comes to your own wellbeing and emergency planning, you feel overwhelmed, underprepared, or unsure where to start.

➤ You believe in justice, equity, and accessibility - but the mainstream emergency preparedness advice feels individualistic, fear-based, and completely disconnected from your values and lived realities.

➤ You want to feel confident, clear, and connected in the face of a natural disaster - but right now, you're exhausted, discouraged, not sure how to prioritize so many needs that exist in community already, and overall feeling alone.

I’m Daniela Guerrero-Rodriguez (she/they), an Inclusive Community Prepper with a Master’s in Arts for Social Change, and 17 years of frontline experience in mental health. I’m a proud aunty, a lifelong bookworm, and someone who’s constantly inspired by the ways nature teaches us how to care.

I left a career in nonprofits when I realized I was being asked to do systemic work in broken systems - basically upholding the harm I sought to stop. I started my consulting and coaching practice to help changemakers like you lead with care, not collapse. Since then, I’ve supported hundreds of leaders across the nonprofit, and grassroots sectors to align their values with their practices - in ways that are trauma-informed, climate-conscious, AND rooted in collective liberation.

My mission is to help care-centered people build communities that are prepared, connected, and resourced - because when we’re no longer doing it all alone, we don’t just survive the crisis…

We build the future.

Here, we don’t apologize for needing rest, setting boundaries, or asking for care.

We also root ethics, access, and collective well-being into how we prepare for crisis.

I do preparedness very differently - it’s creative, inclusive, trauma-informed, and grounded in just, sustainable, and regenerative care for ourselves, others, the planet, and future generations. I’m so glad you found me, because you can do it differently too.

Here is what we will be covering in class:

01.

Identify the care giving styles found in nature and in systems of oppression - so that you know where you are at, where you are going, and have examples that can help guide you into who you want to become.

02.

Map your capacity, based on your caregiving style, and needs using a design-thinking approach, so you can respond to crisis from a place of clarity and guided by the land, instead of collapse.

03.

Unpack the ways colonialism has shaped extractive models of care - and reimagine what sustainable, collective preparedness looks like when rooted in land, culture, and community.

04.

Walk away with simple, practical tools you can use right away, to start reimagining your relationship with care, moving away from caregiving as an extractive practice, reclaiming regenerative care, and connecting with the land.

Why this work matters, especially now ...

Preparedness has always been part of my life - not just for emergencies, but as a way to survive systems that weren’t built for me to thrive in, and as a way to live in relationship with nature and her changes, while navigating harmful structures.

As the child of immigrants who experienced food insecurity, power outages, and water shortages in their home countries, I was raised to keep shelves stocked and stay ready. But as I got older, I realized most people weren’t taught that - or they were too scared, too overwhelmed, or too disconnected to even begin.

Here’s what I have seen:

Emergency preparedness being sold as expensive gear, fear-based advice, and individual responsibility. There was no room for cultural knowledge, mental health, disability justice, or the collective power of community. And definitely no recognition of how colonialism, capitalism, and climate change manufacture the very crises we’re told to simply “bounce back” from.
Care workers who had emergency kits and manuals but had never actually considered what they’d need - emotionally or physically - in a real disaster.
And, again and again, how already-marginalized communities are left behind - because they weren't being cared for before the disaster and much less supported in preparing for it, and yet expected to rebuild from nothing, with even less than they had before.

This work matters because we are already living in a climate emergency - and the systems we were told to rely on are failing. Disasters are increasing. Inequities are deepening. And we are running out of time.

Preparedness isn’t just about surviving the next fire, flood, or blackout. It’s about rejecting the myth of isolation, reclaiming our interdependence, and building a world where people and the planet can actually thrive.

You deserve care-centered preparedness rooted in solidarity, not scarcity.

And you don’t have to do it alone.

I want to see nonprofit leaders, frontline workers, community builders, organizers, and educators resourced in 2025 - emotionally, relationally, and collectively. Because we’re the ones who will be holding communities through the social, economic, and climate emergencies already unfolding.

We cannot pour from empty cups and keep giving care in the same way when our capacity decreases. I want to see you surrounded by community that makes you feel cared for. I want to see you feel worthy of asking for support - and empowered to create care based communities where care flows both ways. Because when you’re resourced, we are all more resourced.

When we build interdependent systems that mirror nature - not capitalism - we don’t just survive.

We thrive. Together.

Because of this work...there are now hundreds of people who feel LESS ANXIOUS about care based approaches to preparedness - and MORE CONFIDENT in asking for help, offering care, and building support systems in their everyday lives.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to start creating a care based community - this is your invitation to begin, right where you are. These are the kinds of shifts that ripple outward.

The ripple starts with you

Care, capacity, and worth felt like ephemeral concepts until Daniela broke it down into the 101, while keeping nuance. This allowed me to see what I was and wasn't thinking about, and how to systematically assess my ability to be in community, in order to show up better for myself and my friends.
