Close to 60% of Americans are wholly unprepared
for a disaster of any kind.

Only 1 in 10 American households has hit the preparedness trifecta: a family emergency plan, an emergency supply kit,
and training in first aid and CPR.

Although 89 percent of those surveyed believe it's important to be prepared, far fewer are ready for an emergency.

One-third of businesses surveyed do not have
a business continuity plan in place.

93 percent of parents agree it's important for their child's school emergency preparedness efforts to be recognized
by the American Red Cross.

We can help each other to be ready for emergencies and disasters.
A disaster can happen at any time, but preparedness and prevention are two elements within our control. Being ready for the inevitable is a shared responsibility that starts with each of us. That’s why we’ve created the Red Cross Ready Rating™ Program. We work with your school to help make it easier to improve your emergency preparedness.

The Red Cross Ready Rating™ Program is a first-of-its-kind membership program that guides businesses, organizations and schools in preparing for emergencies, and recognizes its Members for their commitment to preparedness. An online 123-point Assessment, consisting of five steps, helps Members identify their level of preparedness and guides them through a continual improvement process.  Businesses, organizations and schools that display a Ready Rating Member Seal have made a commitment to improve their level of emergency preparedness.
