Earthquakes
The Wasatch Front sits on an active fault system. A major quake could cut water, power, and roads for days — or longer.
Emergency preparedness for Utah families
Know exactly what your family has — and what it still needs.
In-home 72-hour kit checks, full household preparedness inventories, and one-on-one planning. I count it, organize it, and hand you a clear plan so you can stop wondering if you're ready.

- In-home or virtual
- Printed binder + digital copy
Why it matters here
Utah has its own set of “what ifs.”
Most families already have something in the basement. The hard part is knowing whether it would actually carry everyone through a real event.
Wildfire & evacuation
When you have 10 minutes to leave, a grab-and-go kit for every person (and pet) makes all the difference.
Winter storms & outages
Heat, light, cooking, and medications that need power — planned for before the lights go out, not after.

About
Hi, I'm Tyler Thiess.
I help Utah families turn “we've got some stuff in the basement” into a real, organized plan.
I started Steady Home Preparedness after seeing how many families had invested in food storage and 72-hour kits but had no idea what was actually in them, what had expired, or what they'd do if the power went out tonight. I bring a calm, practical approach — no fear tactics and no sales pitch — and leave you with something you can maintain on your own.

FAQ
Common questions
What areas do you serve?
In-home visits are available across the Wasatch Front and surrounding Utah counties. If you're farther out, a small travel fee may apply, or we can do everything by video.
How long does a visit take?
A Kit Check usually takes 60–90 minutes. A full household inventory typically runs 2–4 hours depending on how much is stored and how spread out it is.
I'm embarrassed by how little we have. Is that okay?
Absolutely. Many of my clients are starting from zero. This is a judgment-free service — the whole point is to give you a clear starting place.
Do I have to buy supplies from you?
No. I don't sell products or earn commissions. Your buying plan lists general items and quantities so you can shop wherever you like.
How does payment work?
After you submit the intake form you'll be sent to a secure Stripe checkout. Cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay are accepted. Your card details never touch this website.
What's your cancellation policy?
Reschedule anytime with at least 24 hours' notice. If you need to cancel before your visit, you'll receive a full refund.
Ready to stop wondering?
The intake takes about 5 minutes. I'll take it from there.
