If you work with vehicles in any capacity, you already know the truth: disasters don’t wait for your schedule.
Wildfires. Flooding. Hurricanes. Winter storms. Extreme heat. Tornadoes. Smoke conditions that shut down operations. Even widespread outages that take communication, fuel access, and supply chains offline.
Whether you’re managing a fleet, running a dealership, operating a small business with service vehicles, supporting public sector transportation, or keeping equipment and customers moving, disaster readiness has become part of the job.
That’s why the 2026 Disaster Response Guide is officially underway, and we’re now opening a Call for Insights and Experts.
The Disaster Response Guide is an annual resource for fleet, trucking, transportation, public-sector, and vehicle-based business leaders who need real-world guidance on preparing, responding to, and recovering from disasters. It focuses on practical strategies, lessons learned, and tools that help teams stay operational and make smart decisions under pressure.
“This guide is built for the real-world grit of people who keep vehicles moving for work,” said Lauren Fletcher, VP of Content at Bobit Business Media. “It’s not just about having a plan. It’s about knowing what actually works when things go sideways, and sharing that knowledge so others can respond faster and recover stronger.”
