188. What is Ready Army?

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.”

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
