The Preparedness Gap

Losing his home in the Valley Fire led John Hanses to build Red-E.

During an emergency

Stress makes it harder to decide what to take, who to contact, and what to do next.

After a loss

Personal property claims are difficult when you must reconstruct what you owned and document each loss.
