About Me

My name is Tyra Baird and I am from the Portland, OR area. I simply live a lifestyle of preparedness and have a passion for sharing it. I received a Bachelors from Brigham Young University - Idaho in Child and Family studies, and Home and family living. As a stay at home mom of 4 children (under the age of 8), I consider myself an expert in man-made disasters and daily coping. Emergency preparedness and self reliance has been a way of life since I was a child, and my husband and I have embraced it wholeheartedly. I’ve been in a tornado, tropical storm, flooding, snowed in twice, severe storms, and slept through a few minor earthquakes. All of them were pretty mild. I am a self proclaimed nerd who simply enjoys reading, researching, writing, teaching, and public speaking.

If you are interested in scheduling a presentation for your community, organization, or preparedness fair please contact me at tyrabaird@gmail.com

Thank you for my friends and family who helped me put all this information together, and to those who read and share their ideas.
