00:00Paul Sergison has always been a man of survival and he's built something to help his family
00:08and others during a crisis.
00:10Paul made Be Ready in just two weeks without any coding experience thanks to Claude AI.
00:19Be Ready is designed to help people find information and create an emergency list in case disasters
00:27strike such as heat waves storms and disease outbreaks.
00:32Let's say you needed some bottles of water during a drought or a power outage what you would do is
00:40type
00:40in how many you need into the app and if you need more it gives you links to amazon and
00:46ebay and then
00:49it will be complete and you'll be one step closer to being safe in the event of an emergency.
00:54After witnessing Storm Bulo and a half an hour car journey taking up to two hours because of fallen trees
01:04Paul wanted to create a one-stop shop for people to go who may be confused by all the information
01:11of the government's Be Ready campaign.
01:13I mean ideally you'd want it to become sort of, ideally I suppose I'd want the government to contact me
01:20and go this is our website which is one page of a pdf and we've seen what you've built could
01:27we license
01:27it could we work with you can we put it out on a national rollout or make it available maybe
01:35you know financially would be quite handy obviously but all these things cost host servers stuff like
01:40that um but yeah it'd be nice to know it'd be nice to know that I've built something and put
01:47it out
01:47there and it's basically helping people be prepared that's basically the motto be ready so why not be
01:55ready and use an app to be that. Alongside the website which has a link to download the app to
02:01devices such
02:02as phones and tablets there's also a survival book Paul wrote for people to download on kindle which
02:10focuses on the first three days of power cuts floods and storms. Paul hopes these will help people
02:18when a next time eventually comes around. Henry Luck for KMTV in Herne Bay
