Emergency Preparation and Guidance
Ready
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) launched the Ready public service campaign, in 2004, to educate the American public on emergency readiness . The Ready campaign is an excellent resource for all Americans seeking to prepare themselves for a wide variety of natural and man-made disasters.
Through collaboration with our federal partners at DHS and FEMA, we are pleased to share this comprehensive information with the people of Maryland.
