Ready Campaign

Find information on how you, your family, or your business can best prepare to deal with natural disasters or weather-related emergencies. 

The Ready site educates and empowers Americans to prepare for and respond to emergencies. Along with its Spanish language version, the site encourages individuals to do four key things:

  1. Stay informed about the different types of emergencies that could occur and their appropriate responses
  2. Make a family emergency plan.
  3. Build an emergency supply kit.
  4. Get involved in your community by taking action to prepare for emergencies.
