About DoomsDaddy
DoomsDaddy exists to make disaster preparedness practical and community-centered.
As climate impacts increase and systems are increasingly strained, more people are realizing that readiness isn’t just about gear—it’s about skills, confidence, and community. DoomsDaddy creates educational resources and training experiences that help individuals and communities prepare for real-world emergencies in grounded, accessible ways.
We focus on everyday preparedness: the kinds of actions that make a difference in the first hours and days of an emergency where hazards like wildfire evacuation, power outages, extreme weather events, or community disruption have come to be.
What We Create
DoomsDaddy publishes original educational content and resources focused on disaster preparedness and resilience, including:
Practical preparedness guides and checklists
Training-based education (first aid, wildfire readiness, go-bags, and more)
Community-centered approaches to safety and mutual aid
Our work is designed to support people who want to be better prepared without fear-based messaging or panic-driven consumption.
Who It’s For
DoomsDaddy is for:
Individuals and communities seeking practical preparedness skills
Community-minded people interested in mutual aid and resilience
Anyone who wants to feel more grounded and capable when situations escalate quickly
No prior experience required for Level 1 trainings.
Our Approach
Preparedness doesn’t have to be overwhelming or isolating.
We believe readiness grows through:
Clear, actionable information
Hands-on learning
Community connection
Our goal is to help people feel resourced, capable, and less alone—before emergencies happen.
About the Founder
DoomsDaddy was founded by Sam Bloch, a disaster-preparedness educator and community organizer focused on practical readiness, safety skills, and mutual aid. Sam brings a grounded, people-first approach to preparedness—emphasizing training, collaboration, and calm action over fear or sensationalism.
DoomsDaddy grew out of a belief that resilience is something we build together, long before a crisis arrives.
About the Name
“DoomsDaddy” is intentionally playful. It’s a reminder that we can take preparation seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. Humor, care, and competence can coexist.
