About Us
More Prepared was started by two moms who saw the need for quality emergency kits at their preschool children's schools. Living in southern California meant that they were required to send an emergency kit back to school with their student each fall. When they weren't readily available at their local stores, the idea was born to provide them for busy parents. Hurricane Katrina made landfall two weeks after the website launched, and the business grew from there.
