We are living it

PostFire was created by two Eaton total loss survivors in response to lived frustrations with the existing disaster recovery system. We partner with nationally recognized experts, licensed professionals, and research institutions to deliver trustworthy guidance.

We believe:

  1. Good information and high-quality products should be accessible to everyone.

  2. Operational waste can be reduced with simple solutions.

  3. Governmental and philanthropic responses should be driven by data, not opinion.

  4. Care drives successful recovery. Survivors must be met where they are, spoken to in language they can understand, and treated with dignity at all times.

We’re a small group of big thinkers who have devoted our lives to improving one of the hardest experiences imaginable, for everyone who goes through it.
