Readiness tools

Three practical ways to find the next useful preparedness task: a quick self-check, a living household board, and a guided decision path.

You do not need to work through everything at once. Start with a question, check what is already in place at home, or choose one situation to plan for. These tools help you organize the next task; none can certify that a home is safe.
