Beyond the
72hr Emergency Kit
​​
Book a 2-Hour online or in-person workshop for your organization, school, or community group. No gear required.
Just curiosity, care, and the desire to take a first step.
​
START WHERE YOU ARE.
Prepare to lead with care in a crisis.
Because being prepared isn't about having the perfect kit - it's about having care-centered relationships in your community.
​
This isn’t your average emergency preparedness workshop.
If you’re a nonprofit leader, frontline worker, teacher, or community builder who’s ever felt overwhelmed or disconnected from mainstream emergency advice - you’re not alone.
​
Most preparedness resources are built for the privileged.
-
They focus on gear, assume financial flexibility, and ignore the lived realities of disability, caregiving, culture, systemic injustice, and collective care.
You don’t need a kit to begin.
-
You need a starting point that feels doable - and a plan that reflects your values.
Preparedness doesn’t have to be perfect.
-
But it must be collaborative - because the response always will be.
Why this work matters - especially now.
We’re living through overlapping crises: wildfires, rising costs of living, settler colonial violence, housing precarity, and the rise of fascism.
​
And yet most emergency plans are built out of fear, individual survival, hoarding, and the assumption that some people will simply be left behind.
I created this workshop because I didn’t see people like me - or the communities I love - reflected in preparedness plans. Plans that often ignore collective care in favor of individual survival.
​
Preparedness should never be a luxury.
It should be rooted in connection, creativity, and care.
That’s what this workshop offers: a place to begin, together.
​​
That’s where I come in - I’m here to guide you in starting your preparedness journey in a way that feels grounded, doable, and deeply aligned with your values.
This workshop won’t ask you to buy gear you can’t afford or follow advice that wasn’t made for you. Instead, I’ll walk you through a care-centered, community-rooted approach to getting prepared - one that begins with what you already have and who you already are.
And yes, you can start preparing for free.
​
No one taught you how to prepare for a polycrisis that includes wildfires, isolation, rising costs - or fascism (And certainly not in a way that addresses it collectively.)
​
Most emergency preparedness advice is built on fear, individualism, or privilege.
It often ignores the realities of caregiving, cultural identity, disability, and systemic injustice. But you’ve already been doing the hard work: showing up for others, building community, and leading with care.
​
You deserve to feel resourced, too.
​
I’ve supported hundreds of changemakers like you in moving from uncertainty to clarity - by rooting preparedness in justice, culture, and collective care.
Because being prepared shouldn’t be a privilege. It should be a shared practice.
​
​
Here, we don’t apologize for wanting to feel safe, supported, and ready.
​
We believe that care is powerful - and that preparedness can be rooted in justice, not fear.
This isn’t about hoarding supplies or going it alone.
​
It’s about practicing community care with equity, and intention.
I approach preparedness differently, and I’m so glad you found this work - because you can, too.

What people have said ...
​​​"I have autism and thought I would be too overstimulated to do anything in an emergency. But now that I know what I need and what I can do. I feel excited because I know that I can do something in an emergency."
- Participant

"I have been to many many emergency preparedness meetings over the years, and this is the only time I have heard it talked about with community in mind."
- Marge

​
Does this sound familiar?
➤ You want to be prepared - but the typical advice feels overwhelming, expensive, or disconnected from your lived experience.
➤ You’ve been meaning to “get a kit” or “make a plan” for years, but something always gets in the way - time, capacity, or just not knowing where to begin.
➤ You support others daily (as a teacher, caregiver, organizer, or leader) but don’t feel equipped to lead in a crisis.
➤ You care deeply about justice and community - but preparing alone feels isolating, and the survivalist mindset just doesn’t sit right.
➤ You know the world is changing fast - and you want to feel steady, not panicked, when the next disruption comes.
​
You’ll walk away with:
​
-
A simple, personalized emergency plan that reflects your needs and values
-
More confidence in your ability to respond to a crisis
-
Tools to support others - without burning out
-
A justice-based approach to preparedness rooted in care, not consumerism
-
A sense of agency, connection, and collective possibility

I’m Daniela Guerrero-Rodriguez
- a facilitator, educator, artist, and community preparedness guide.
​
I’ve spent over a decade working at the intersections of social justice, trauma-informed care, and community resilience. My background spans intercultural studies, arts for social change, and emergency preparedness rooted in collective care.
​
I didn’t grow up with a fancy go-bag.
I grew up with immigrant parents who practiced everyday preparedness - saving water, packing flashlights, knowing our neighbours, and sharing what we had. It wasn’t about panic. It was about care.
​
That’s the lens I bring to this work.
As a trauma-informed educator, emergency preparedness facilitator, and community artist, I help care-centered leaders like you prepare in ways that are practical, culturally grounded, and emotionally sustainable.
​​
Because when we’re resourced - not just with supplies, but with confidence and community - we keep each other safe.​
​
​
From Uncertainty to Collective Confidence
This workshop is your bridge from overwhelm to grounded action.What you might be feeling right now:
-
Emergency advice that feels overwhelming or irrelevant
-
Pressure to prepare alone, without support
-
Survivalist messaging that doesn’t reflect your values
-
Uncertainty about how to care for others in a crisis
-
A deep knowing that the current systems won’t keep everyone safe
​
​
What becomes possible after the workshop:
-
A clear, doable plan - even if you don’t own a single flashlight
-
A trauma-informed, justice-based lens on emergency preparedness
-
Confidence in how to lead and support others without burning out
-
A sense of connection, not isolation, when you think about crisis
-
Tools to begin meaningful conversations and action in your community
You don’t have to do it all at once.You just need a starting point that reflects your care, capacity, and community.

What people have said ...
​​​"​​​​​​​"I was a bit nervous about this workshop because emergency preparedness is stressful, and I worried I'd just find out how unprepared I really was. But Daniela's workshop was a game-changer! It showed me all the great resources I already have. Now, I can't wait to gather all my items as soon as I get home!"
- Clare
​
​​​"​​​​​​​I think about emergency preparedness often but don't have a kit or a plan. I appreciated how you encouraged us to think about this as a group and not only as an individual. I am going to start having conversations with my neighbours about this so we can help each other out."
- Participant
​
​
For me, the mission is bigger than just getting everyone to create an emergency kit.
​
I want to see care-centered leaders and their diverse communities resourced to respond equitably to an emergency and build just, sustainable futures.
We need each other. And we need to feel steady - emotionally, materially, and collectively - so we can keep showing up, building safer futures, and supporting those around us.
When you're grounded, prepared, and connected, your impact ripples outward.
​
This workshop is one small step toward contributing to your community's resilience.
