Wayfinder Disaster Recovery System
Structure for the chaos. Sanctuary for the rest.
The Wayfinder Disaster Recovery System™ bridges the gap between survival and restoration, equipping fire survivors with the resources and information needed to navigate the journey ahead. An unexpected disaster doesn't just take your possessions; it shakes your sense of self. Whether you are navigating this journey alone or leading a household, you face a difficult balance: trying to secure your future while protecting your peace in the present.
We designed the Wayfinder Disaster Recovery System™ based on a simple, trauma-informed truth: true resilience requires both sanctuary and structure.
We offer these resources free of charge to address the head, the heart, and the path of disaster recovery. Not just to help you manage the damage, but to help you recognize your own resilience in the face of it

The Head (Command Center)
Wayfinder Box
More than storage, it’s the foundation
for your new beginning.
The stress of displacement disrupts your memory exactly when you need it most. This box acts as your "external brain," securing your recovering identity and turning the flood of paperwork into a manageable path, helping you navigate the system on your own terms.
What's Inside
The Fireproof Safe
It is not just storage; it is peace of mind. We provide a specialized, fire-resistant lockbox to protect your recovering identity—passports, new leases, and insurance contracts—so you never have to fear losing them again.
Wayfinder Workbook
Your adaptive roadmap. Recovery isn't one-size-fits-all. Whether you are a renter or homeowner, insured or uninsured, this guide meets you exactly where you are. It breaks the complex journey into clear, prioritized steps, giving you the references and logic you need to know what to do now, and what can wait.
Organization Essentials
A complete system to tame the flood of paperwork. We include color-coded folders, high-quality pens, and document organizers to turn a "pile" into a process, ensuring you can find exactly what you need, when you need it.
The Heart (Sanctuary)
Sunrise Kit
Restoring peace, embracing warmth.
Displacement keeps your nervous system on high alert, making true rest nearly impossible. This kit counters the sterility of temporary housing with sensory warmth, physically signaling to your body that the danger has passed and it is safe to power down.
What's Inside
Reflection Journals
A private space for your story. While the Master Workbook handles the logistics, these journals hold your experience. They offer a safe outlet to process the emotions you can't express elsewhere, helping to unload the mental weight.
Deep Rest Weighted Blanket
Anxiety lives in the body. This premium weighted blanket uses deep pressure stimulation to help you find calm, physically lowering your heart rate to help you sleep when your mind won't stop racing.
Ambient Sanctuary Lighting
Harsh lighting keeps your brain on high alert. We provide warm, soft lighting to transform a sterile temporary room into a human space, changing the atmosphere to one of calm
Sensory Grounding Tools
To clear the fog, you need to engage your senses. From calming aromatherapy (to help replace the scent of smoke) to a ceramic mug for warm tea, these essentials help ground you in the present moment.
The Path (Clarity)
Wayfinder Guide
Your digital compass back to normal.
You are navigating a landscape you didn't choose and have likely never traveled before. Without a plan, every decision feels like a guess, and the finish line can feel impossible to find.
It is designed to give you the one thing you need to lower the noise: perspective.
By mapping out the entire journey ahead of time, it allows you to see the turns before you reach them—ensuring you aren't just reacting to the crisis but moving through it.
