The readiness spectrum

Every home lands somewhere between Unprepared and Storm-ready. The check tells you where, and what moves the marker.

Nobody thinks about this on a sunny day, which is exactly when it works. Most people land here after a near miss, a neighbor's blue tarp, or a forecast cone that came too close. Whatever brought you: the fixes are mostly cheap and boring, the expensive ones reward deciding early, and knowing your gaps costs three minutes. No commitment on the other side of the button, just a list.

How it works
