Disaster Prep, Gamified.
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Get your family disaster-ready with step-by-step missions. Prepare for hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and more...before you need to.
BuildSOS turns disaster preparedness into a game you'll actually finish.
Most people know they should prepare for emergencies — but don't know where to start. BuildSOS breaks it down into simple, guided missions across three phases: Prepare, Respond, and Recover.
PREPARE before disaster strikes:
- Assess your risk factors for floods, fire, wind, and more
- Build a Communication Circle with friends and family
- Document your home with photos and 3D models
- Create an emergency evacuation plan
- Gather insurance policies and critical documents
- Prepare your pets, vehicles, and go-bag
RESPOND when disaster is imminent:
- Follow the Last Minute Action Plan for the 48-72 hours before a storm
- Access nearby emergency shelters and NOAA weather radio stations
- Stay connected with your Communication Circle
RECOVER after the storm:
- Document damage for insurance claims
- Connect with verified contractors
- Navigate FEMA assistance and know your rights
- Rebuild smarter with lessons learned
