Founding Purpose

After the devastating Mexico City earthquake, the recurring message: "Human suffering could have been enormously reduced if 72-hour preparedness had been a pre-earthquake priority."

Emergency Lifeline was founded in 1985 by Kathy Gannon Rainey with the purpose of helping businesses, schools, families and individuals prepare for 72-hour self-sufficiency. Since that time, the company has expanded the product line to include preparedness supplies for any type of disaster, including natural and man-made. Emergency Lifeline now works with organizations throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and overseas. The company also publishes the annual, internationally distributed DISASTER RESOURCE GUIDE. The publication is a resource for organizations and government agencies desiring to prepare for emergencies, and contains articles and information from internationally recognized experts. The printed GUIDE is mailed to qualifying subscribers free of charge. The online GUIDE is at www.disaster-resource.com.
