About us
Helping American families get prepared, one practical step at a time
USA Survival Guides publishes plain-language preparedness guides for the situations families actually face: power outages, winter storms and extended disruptions to everyday services.
Our mission
Practical, source-backed guidance for every household
Our mission is to help American families prepare with practical guidance they can understand and use. Each guide focuses on one need, such as staying warm without power, cooking safely, keeping clean when water stops, or building a fire safely, and turns it into steps a household can follow.
Our guides draw on guidance from government agencies and other authoritative organizations. Every guide page lists the sources referenced in that guide, so you can go straight to the original information.
The compass emblem
What we stand for
Our navy, red and cream compass emblem reflects the brand's purpose: steady direction for American families when the unexpected happens.
Family first
Every guide is written for households: parents, kids, older relatives and pets, not for specialists.
Source-backed
Guides reference guidance from government agencies and other authoritative organizations, and list those sources so you can read them yourself.
Practical and calm
Clear steps, checklists and plans instead of fear. Preparedness should feel doable.
Direction when it matters
Like the compass in our emblem, each guide is meant to help a family find its next step when normal routines stop.
