Preppr U

An AI-Powered Exercise Design Lab for Emergency Management Students

Written by

Justin Snair

Preppr U is an experimental initiative that combines cutting-edge AI tools with hands-on learning to prepare the next generation of emergency management professionals. This program transforms the classroom into a dynamic exercise design lab where students not only use Preppr.ai to create disaster exercises but also gain direct support and mentorship from the Preppr team—including yours truly.

Preppr U is a collaborative experience that empowers students to:

  • Design realistic, impactful disaster exercises using the Preppr platform.

  • Ask questions and receive guidance directly from the Preppr team.

  • Learn the principles of exercise design while exploring how AI enhances emergency planning.

How Does Preppr U Work?

  1. Facilitated Learning: The Preppr team will help organize and facilitate the program, ensuring students get the most out of the experience.

  2. Hands-On Design: Students will use Preppr to create disaster scenarios, working through the platform’s guided and flexible design workflows.

  3. Ask the Experts: Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, troubleshoot challenges, and receive real-time advice from Preppr team members.

  4. Iterate and Improve: Students will refine their exercises based on feedback and learn how to evaluate and enhance their designs.

Think of it Like an Exercise Design Lab

Preppr U is more than just a classroom activity—it’s an immersive lab experience where students collaborate, experiment, and build their skills in exercise design. By combining AI tools with direct mentorship, Preppr U helps participants bridge the gap between academic theory and the practical demands of emergency management.

Why Join Preppr U?

  • Learn by Doing: Students don’t just study emergency management concepts—they actively apply them in a real-world context.

  • AI in Action: Explore how Preppr’s AI-driven tools simplify and enhance exercise design.

  • Mentorship: Get direct access to the Preppr team for guidance and support throughout the program.

Our Emergency Alert Generation Tool is Now Freely Available Under Creative Commons

By

Justin Snair

Preppr.ai has released its "Ask Preppr Action: Preparedness Alert & Warning Template Generation" protocol, a sophisticated, multi-agent system that runs in Large Language Models to help public safety officials create effective and compliant emergency alerts. The tool guides users through a structured, research-based workflow to generate templates for various platforms while enforcing FEMA/IPAWS standards and ethical guidelines. Arguing that life-saving tools should be widely accessible, the company is making the protocol freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY-SA 4.0) license to foster greater accessibility, innovation, and transparency in the emergency management community.

I was wrong about AI

By

Justin Snair

Like many in emergency management and business continuity, I saw AI as a productivity boost—extracting details from plans, generating scenarios, drafting reports. The tool worked great. But I was solving the wrong problem. We don't have a content creation problem in EM/BC. We create plenty of plans and reports. Our real challenges are deeper: coordination failures, engagement gaps, and tacit knowledge trapped in silos.
