120. What is Ready Army?
Ready Army is the Army Emergency Management

resilience of the Army community by informing of

our Army community to action and aims to create a

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.
