School Information

What is Ready Army?
Ready Army is the Army Emergency Management
Program’s proactive campaign to increase the
resilience of the Army community by informing of
relevant hazards and encouraging Soldiers,
their Families, Army Civilians and contractors to,
“Get a Kit. Make a Plan. Be Informed.”

What is Ready Army?
Through outreach and education Ready Army calls
our Army community to action and aims to create a
culture of preparedness that will save lives and
strengthen the nation.

Get a Kit
When disaster strikes, emergency responders
address the most critical needs and may not
even be able to get to an area until it is deemed
safe. While they work on behalf of the entire
community, it is your responsibility to ensure
your family’s well-being during times of crisis.
Emergency kits to sustain for 72 hours are an
essential tool for meeting that challenge.

Make a Plan
• Ensure everyone understands the plan, and practices.
• How to communicate during an emergency.
• Consider what to do, where to go, what to take.
• Plan for members with disabilities or special needs.
• Include pets in family plan.
• Report status through ADPAAS.
• Identify a continental U.S. contact.
