Who you're dealing with

Built by a Marine who plans for the day the systems fail.

You're not buying evacuation gear off a shelf. You're handing your worst-day plan to a person. Here's who that is.

Outpost Preparedness was founded by Drew Jennings, who spent 20 years in the United States Marine Corps and retired as a Master Sergeant. He led infantry teams in combat and managed global logistics — two decades of planning for the moment the plan actually gets tested.

That's the whole idea behind Outpost. Preparedness isn't a product you buy once and file away — it's a defensive position. You build it a little every day, so it's already there on your worst day. Or, as Drew puts it: “Anyone can sell you a bag — we make sure you know how to use it.”

Outpost Evacuation is the facility-evacuation division of that company — the part focused on one specific promise: when a building has to empty out and the elevators are down, everyone gets out, including the people who can't take the stairs. Drew saw the gap firsthand. The chairs that make that possible were common in Europe and rare in the US. The people who needed them most were an afterthought in most evacuation plans. And almost no facility could actually prove it was ready.

So Outpost became the authorized US distributor for the HALO evacuation range and ProMove transfer slings, and built the training and the documentation around them — so “can you get everyone out?” stops being a hope and becomes a documented answer. Drew runs it the way he ran a section: standard first, everyone trained, everything logged.

The standard

Move everyone. Prove it.

Every deployment follows the same three steps, so readiness is a fact you can hand to a regulator, not a promise you hope holds.

01
Assess

A review of your building against the exact rule your sector answers to — the codes, not a generic checklist.

02
Deploy

HALO chairs, ProMove slings, Go-Bags, and hands-on crew training — installed in about five business days from decision.

03
Prove

Certificates, photos, and a 12-month audit log for DOT, Joint Commission, the fire marshal, ADA/OCR, or your insurer.

Real deployments

Not a pitch deck — real chairs, real crews, real audit logs.
