Being protected is not the same thing as being prepared.
Sentinel Resilience is a Private Preparedness Advisory, not a financial advisory firm and not a security company. It assesses a household's readiness across eight areas, scores it, and hands back one plan in the order that matters: what to fix first, what can wait, and what is already working.
It exists because of what Chris Leming saw at kitchen tables, year after year since 2012: households with the paperwork in order and nobody who knew what to do with it. A woman four days widowed, holding a folder she had never opened. A business owner who had never asked whether his family could run a week without him. The documents were the protection. Nobody had set up the preparation.
That is the work here. Not implementation, and not the licensed work your attorney or agent already does. The practical layer around all of it, tested, written down, and known by the people who will need it on the day.
Who this is for
The clients Sentinel Resilience serves have built something real: a business, a family, a life worth protecting. Most of them arrive after a moment. A spouse dies and the survivor finds out they don't know where anything is. A business owner wonders for the first time whether the family could function without them. Or a family notices that their attorney, insurance agent and financial advisor each hold one piece of a picture nobody has ever put together.
They aren't preppers. They're capable people who put everything into building a life and realized, often suddenly, that they hadn't put the same into protecting it. They don't have time to read a hundred books. They want one person to look at everything at once and tell them plainly what to do.
If that moment has arrived for you, this is built for you.

What the practice handles, and where it fits
Where the work is practical, the practice gives the recommendations directly, in priority order: stored food and water, filtration, backup power, communications that survive an outage, evacuation plans, family protocols, and the skills to use them.
Where the work needs a licence, the practice checks whether what you already have would hold on the day, tells you which pieces are missing, and introduces you to the professional who sets them up. It takes nothing from anyone it introduces.
Since 2012 the day job behind this practice has meant sitting with families in the week their plans were put to use. That is why the assessment asks what it asks: it looks for the distance between what a household has on paper and what it could actually do on the day.

Chris Leming, Founder
The practice was founded by Chris Leming, and he scores every assessment himself.
He has worked in insurance and financial services since 2012 and has run his own agency since 2014. In that work he sat at kitchen tables with thousands of households, assessing risk through an insurance and financial lens. None of them were clients of this practice. They are the reason it asks what it asks.
He holds the RICP designation in retirement income planning. That is the literacy the assessment draws on. It is not investment or financial advice, and Sentinel Resilience does not provide either.
The physical and supply parts of the assessment come from the same place: what watching households fail taught him to ask. They are not medical, dietary or clinical advice.
He lives in Hall County, Georgia, and practices every one of the eight pillars in his own home. No single credential makes this practice possible. The combination does.
