ZERT Coffee & Chaos 124 – Can You Be Prepared For Everything?

In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the devastating flash floods that struck Kerr County, Texas, on July 4th, 2025. What began as a typical summer storm turned into a deadly and destructive event, leaving communities reeling, homes underwater, and lives changed forever. We unpack the timeline of the disaster, examine what went wrong—from emergency response shortfalls to infrastructure failures—and ask the hard questions about preparedness.

But more than just a breakdown of the events, this episode explores a sobering truth: sometimes, even the best preparation may not be enough. We discuss the limits of self-reliance in the face of natural disasters and how mental, emotional, and community resilience play just as crucial a role as gear and planning.

Whether you’re into disaster preparedness, survival strategy, or just want to understand what really happened in Kerr County, this episode is a must-listen. Because the next flood, fire, or storm could be closer than you think—and we owe it to ourselves to learn from those who lived through it.
