About Keep Calm and Prep

Keep Calm and Prep is run by Aaron Rockett. Aaron publishes calm, practical emergency-preparedness guides for readers in the US and the UK, pointing back to official sources.

Guides on this site are research-based and appear under the house byline Merritt Lang. We have not tested the products we write about hands-on, and we do not claim emergency-management, medical or water-treatment credentials. Official sources such as Ready.gov, GOV.UK and the Red Cross are linked in the articles themselves.

The name is a nod to the old British poster: preparedness should make you calmer, not more anxious. We write for readers in both the US and the UK. Where advice or products differ (plugs, voltages, official guidance from FEMA/Ready.gov or GOV.UK), we say so.
