FEMA Didn't Do Nothing. Only Your Whole Community Can Fill That Gap
Without FEMA’s training, planning tools, exercises, research, staffing, CERT support — and of course, funding — the burden of disaster readiness now falls squarely on you. Every day. Not just when disaster strikes.
If you don’t act now with innovative, Lead Local solutions, your community will fall behind. The federal safety net is gone — and no one is coming to save you.
If You Try to Go It Alone, Here’s What You Face:
🧩 Fragmented Response
Agencies, businesses, and nonprofits operate in silos. Coordination becomes chaos.
⏳ Slow Decision-Making
Small budgets and long approval chains delay action when speed is everything.
💸 No Emergency Fund
Most governments lack a federal-style rainy-day fund. Bond issues take time you don’t have.
📉 Outdated Tools, No Visibility
Clunky EOC software means no practice, no live coordination, and no shared understanding when it counts. And no widespread distribution to the whole community.
There’s a Better Way: Lead Local.
To avoid disaster confusion and breakdown, you must fill FEMA’s gaps with innovation —
solid, simple technology that brings your entire community into the fight.
SpotOnResponse makes it possible — for governments, businesses, and community leaders to act as one team, before, during, and after disaster. Imagine 100 different organizations working together. That is what we call Lead Local
