Ready Communities

Why Ready Communities?

Communities can be a source of strength. They can go beyond geographic neighborhoods and can be the people with whom you identify, those you look to for help, and those who you love and support.

Communities may have barriers to preparedness and unique needs to overcome them. Some individuals within a community respond better to materials that consider their culture, language, and experiences.

Ready.gov is committed to providing preparedness information in culturally appropriate ways through products in several languages and specialized guides to help individuals prepare today for emergencies and disasters that can happen at any time.
