The American Red Cross Ready Rating™ program is a free, self-paced program designed to help businesses, organizations and schools become better prepared for emergencies. When you join and become a member, you'll complete a 123-point self assessment of your level of preparedness, gain access to tips and best practices information, and commit to improving your score each year to maintain membership. Learn more about how it works, view a sampling of assessment questions for businesses and organizations or schools, or see a sample of the color-coded score card generated after your assessment has been completed. Remember, your business, organization or school can only access these tools after creating an online profile. 

Why Should I Join?

The Ready Rating program helps to make preparedness efforts measurable. This program can complement existing preparedness activities in businesses, organizations and schools with robust safety and preparedness plans already in place, and is a great starting point for those who are just getting started. 

Don't take our word for it, though - read member testimonials about how the program has helped other organizations and view a listing of current Ready Rating members.
