MEET OUR FOUNDER
Patrice Lewis Bryant
Founder & Preparedness Consultant
Patrice Lewis Bryant founded Fortify Emergency Consulting with a clear purpose: to help people feel more capable of protecting those who depend on them. She brings a background in military service, ministry, and emergency management to her work with families, churches and ministries, small businesses, and community organizations.Â
​
Patrice holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Crisis and Disaster Management from Everglades University and has completed more than 20 FEMA Independent Study courses. Her experience includes serving as an Emergency Manager Officer with different municipalities. Through this work, she has supported safety initiatives, emergency exercises, preparedness education, and planning activities.
​
As a military veteran, mother, and ministry leader, Patrice understands that preparedness is personal. Behind every plan are people with different needs, responsibilities, and resources. That perspective shapes her practical, people-first approach: listen carefully, make the information understandable, and help people take meaningful steps forward.
​
Through Fortify, Patrice provides planning guidance and engaging workshops that connect emergency preparedness to everyday life. She welcomes people of all backgrounds and offers faith-aware support for churches and ministries, recognizing the role they play in caring for their communities.
​
Her goal is for every client and participant to leave with greater clarity, confidence, and a practical next step toward readiness.

Whether you are preparing your household, caring for a congregation, running a business, or coordinating community programs, your plan should reflect the people who rely on you.
