Your Safety Place began as a store dedicated to serving the safety and security needs of people living in the San Francisco Bay Area, in Dublin, California (near the Hayward fault-line). "Living here in the Bay Area I was astounded at how difficult it was to find all the resources one needs to make even a basic earthquake preparedness kit," said Brian Klosterman, president and co-founder of Your Safety Place. "I spent hours researching what needed to be included in the kit and then had to visit a half dozen different stores and spend weeks acquiring all the supplies. We started this business out of frustration of not being able to easily get the supplies we needed to protect our families and friends in the event of an emergency or a major disaster.”

Your Safety Place launched the online store to help more families and businesses. “We all face the same challenges these days in getting smart about preparedness no matter where we live,” added Klosterman. “With our online store, now everyone has a place to go for the right supplies and information, at the right prices, right here and right now. We believe that Your Safety Place online will help motivate and enable everyone to get prepared."
