YOU CAN’T EDUCATE PEOPLE IN A CRISIS

Prepare your community for an emergency BEFORE disaster strikes.

NTC is your partner in emergency preparedness education and community outreach messaging, helping you ready your community for the types of emergencies that could most affect your area.

Our successful education and outreach formula includes:

Creative engagement strategies that transform information into memorable experiences that translate into practical knowledge

Clear, doable actions that put that knowledge to work

Targeted, data-driven and relatable community outreach that connects

READYING COMMUNITIES BEFORE EMERGENCY ACTION IS NEEDED

According to 2026 research by SafeHome.org, about 54% of U.S. households have made emergency preparations in the past 12 months, but only about 26% feel “very” or “extremely” confident that they know what to do in a major disaster. Numbers like this show how unprepared communities are to respond to emergencies in their area.

The time to prepare for an emergency is not in the middle of one. Being prepared means having a plan before disaster strikes. When households are not prepared before a crisis, crucial resources, time and effort are wasted during a crisis.

Resources are better spent before an emergency, preparing households to know what to do, who to turn to, and what to have on hand.

YOUR PARTNER IN PREPARING YOUR COMMUNITY

NTC is your partner in turning information into knowledge. We have been helping utilities and government agencies create outreach to better inform their communities since 1978. Our model has always leaned into creativity, storytelling and humor as way of not only helping communities understand information in a memorable and usable way, but also to make it easy for them to put that knowledge to work with actionable behaviors, like creating a household communication and emergency plan.

NTC can help you go beyond awareness and information and help you bridge into understanding, so your community is ready if and when disaster strikes.
