At Outsmart Disaster, we believe resilience starts on blue-sky days — when everything’s calm — so you’re ready when the gray skies roll in.

We offer free trainings and tools to help small businesses and nonprofits across California prepare and recover from unexpected disruptions. Whether you’re a local government agency, a chamber, nonprofit, or community group, we’re here to support your efforts and bring resilience resources to your community.
