FAQ

  • Yes, add-ons work best when building upon the binder's foundation, as it includes a detailed home assessment that all the other add-ons are informed by.

    Think of our binder as the foundation and the add-ons as the building blocks to building a resilient home.

  • Yes and no.

    Yes, if you’re somebody who really wants to be prepared and has the income and time to invest into enhanced emergency resilience.

    Yes, if you have any unique vulnerabilities that you want a professional opinion on.

    Yes, if you own your home and are preparing to have a family one day.

    Yes, if you live in a community or with a group of roommates as your chosen family and want to prepare collectively for an emergency.

    No, if you’re a young, able-bodied, person or couple who feel confident that they can take care of the basics outlined in the binder themselves.

    Preparing for one or two young, able-bodied adults is significantly easier than preparing for a group of people, family with children, or people with access and functional needs. This is especially true if you’re a renter.

  • We do! You get 10% off any order of 2+ add-ons.*

    * this does not apply to Home Hardening, as those are custom rates.

  • Depending on the add-on you choose, there will be varying degrees of preparation required.

    We’ll make sure to let you know what those are well in advance of our session together.

  • Resilient Peeps will travel anywhere in California, but additional fees currently apply for home assessments and any in-person services outside of Oakland.

    We add a surcharge of $250 to the Emergency Resilience Binder for additional cities, plus $50 for each hour of travel + gas expenses for any city outside of SF or Alameda Counties.

    The 1-1 coaching + Emergency plans are conducted virtually and do not have additional surcharges.
