resilience of the Army community by informing of relevant hazards and encouraging Soldiers,

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.
