Dear Partners in Preparedness:

Every year nearly half of all Americans will make at least one New
Year's resolution. The Department of Homeland Security's *Ready*
Campaign is partnering with FEMA's Citizen Corps Program to encourage
businesses and voluntary organizations to *Resolve to be Ready* in 2008.

Enclosed you will find a toolkit to help your organization develop
internal and external messages to encourage your members, employees,
constituents, customers and community to make a New Year's resolution to
prepare for emergencies. You will also find Web banners for your
organization's Web site, a sample E-mail you can send to your key
constituents, as well as background information on *Ready*. You can also
visit [ready.gov](http://www.ready.gov/) or call 1-800-BE-READY to learn
more about how to prepare for emergencies and receive free materials,
including family emergency plan templates and sample business continuity
plans. Additionally, you can help spread the message throughout your
community by partnering with state and local Offices of Emergency
Management, Citizen Corps Councils (www.citizencorps.gov), and other
organizations to host and arrange activities and events on and around
New Year's Eve.

In a recent national survey conducted by the Ad Council, 91 percent of
Americans agreed that taking some simple steps to prepare for
emergencies could help protect themselves and their families in the
event of an emergency. However, only 54 percent had taken any of the
three steps recommended by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's
Ready Campaign, including getting an emergency supply kit, making a
family emergency plan and being informed about the different types of
emergencies that could occur and their appropriate responses.

#### We wish you a very happy and safe New Year! And remember: Don't wait. Set a date. Resolve to be Ready in 2008. If you have questions or would like to showcase your organization's involvement in Resolve to be Ready 2008, please E-mail [***ready@dhs.gov***](mailto:ready@dhs.gov).

SAMPLE E-MAIL ANNOUNCeMENT TO ENCOURAGE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AMONG
MEMBERS/EMPLOYEES/CUSTOMERS/CONSTITUENTS/Communities

Dear **MEMBERS**:

This New Year's Eve, nearly 50 percent of Americans will make at least
one resolution as they look toward the New Year. Today, **ORGANIZATION**
is encouraging all of our **MEMBERS** to make a resolution that is both
important and easy to keep: preparing for emergencies.

In a recent national survey conducted by the Ad Council, 91 percent of
Americans agreed that taking some simple steps to prepare could help
protect themselves and their families in the event of an emergency.
However, only 54 percent had taken at least one of the three steps
recommended by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's *Ready*
Campaign, including getting an emergency supply kit, making a family
emergency plan, and being informed about the different types of
emergencies that could occur and their appropriate responses.

\<To help everyone take these simple steps to get prepared,
**ORGANIZATION** is proud to be hosting/sponsoring/organizing **EVENTS**
with our local **CITY** Office of Emergency Management. **EVENT
DESCRIPTION**.\>

**ORGANIZATION** is encouraging you to visit
[ready.gov](http://www.ready.gov/) or call 1-800-BE-READY to learn how
to prepare your families, homes and businesses for all types of
emergencies including natural and human-caused disasters. Free
materials, including family emergency plan templates and sample business
continuity plans, are available through these resources. These materials
will provide you with tools to make a New Year's resolution that will
bring you and your loved ones peace of mind. If you wish to take a more
active role in your community's preparedness, get involved by joining or
starting a Citizen Corps Council near you. Citizen Corps brings
community and government leaders together to coordinate the involvement
of community members and non-governmental resources in emergency
preparedness, planning, mitigation, response, and recovery. Visit
[citizencorps.gov](http://www.citizencorps.gov/) for more information.

#### Wishing you a happy and safe New Year -- and remember -- Don't wait. Set a date. Resolve to be Ready in 2008.

PREPAREDNESS TIPS to INCLUDE IN YOUR NEWSLETTER

**For Families:**

-   Get an emergency supply kit. Be sure to consider additional items to
    accommodate family members' special needs:

    -   Prescription medications and glasses

    -   Infant formula and diapers

    -   Pet food, extra water for your pet, leash and collar

    -   Important family documents such as copies of insurance policies,
        identification and bank account records in a waterproof,
        portable container

    -   Books, games, puzzles or other activities for children

-   Make sure your family has a plan in case of an emergency. Before an
    emergency happens, sit down together and decide how you will get in
    contact with each other, where you will go and what you will do in
    an emergency.

    -   Determine a neighborhood meeting place, a regional meeting place
        and an evacuation location.

    -   Identify an out-of-town emergency contact. It may be easier to
        make a long-distance phone call than to call across town, so an
        out-of-town contact is important to help communicate among
        separated family members. Be sure every member of your family
        knows the out-of-town phone number and has coins or a prepaid
        phone card to call the emergency contact. You may have trouble
        getting through, or the telephone system may be down altogether,
        but be patient.

    -   You may also want to inquire about emergency plans at places
        where your family spends time, such as their place of
        employment. If no plans exist, consider volunteering to help
        create one.

-   Talk to your neighbors about how you can work together in the event
    of an emergency. You will be better prepared to safely reunite your
    family and loved ones during an emergency if you think ahead and
    communicate with others in advance.

**For Parents:**

> If you are a parent, or guardian of an elderly or disabled individual,
> make sure schools and daycare providers have emergency response plans:

-   Ask how they will communicate with families during a crisis.

-   Ask if they store adequate food, water and other basic supplies.

-   Find out if they are prepared to \"shelter-in-place\" if need be,
    and where they plan to go if they must get away.

### 

### For Workplaces:

-   Take a critical look at your heating, ventilation and air
    conditioning system to determine if it is secure or if it could
    feasibly be upgraded to better filter potential contaminants, and be
    sure you know how to turn it off if you need to.

-   Think about what to do if your employees can\'t go home.

-   Make sure you have appropriate supplies on hand.

**For Communities:**

-   Find out what kinds of disasters, both natural and man-made, are
    most likely to occur in your area and how you will be notified.
    Methods of getting your attention vary from community to community.
    One common method is to broadcast via emergency radio and TV
    broadcasts. You might hear a special siren, or get a telephone call,
    or emergency workers may go door-to-door. Contact a nearby Citizen
    Corps Council for help with emergency planning, or work with your
    local government and emergency management office to help start a
    Council in your area. Visit citizencorps.gov to find local Councils
    or learn how to start one in your community.

***READY* CAMPAIGN */ RESOLVE TO BE READY/* CITIZEN CORPS*\
*BACKGROUND INFORMATION**

**[*Ready* Campaign]{.underline}**

**Question: What is the *Ready* Campaign?**

###### Answer: *Ready* is a national public service advertising campaign designed to educate and empower Americans to prepare for and respond to emergencies including natural disasters and potential terrorist attacks. The goal of the campaign is to get the public involved and ultimately to increase the level of basic preparedness across the nation. *Ready* asks individuals to do three key things: get an emergency supply kit, make a family emergency plan, and be informed about the different types of emergencies that could occur and their appropriate responses. Individuals can visit [**www.ready.gov**](http://www.ready.gov/) or call 1-800-BE-READY for information about emergency preparedness.

> February 2008 will mark the fifth anniversary of the *Ready* Campaign
> -- The campaign was launched in 2003 by the Department of Homeland
> Security and The Advertising Council. It has proven to be one of the
> most successful campaigns in Ad Council's more than 60-year history.

**Question: What does the *Ready* Campaign include?**

**Answer:** The *Ready* Campaign includes a general consumer campaign
called *Ready America*. In addition, the campaign has extensions for pet
owners, older Americans, and people with disabilities and special needs.
In 2004, Homeland Security and the Ad Council launched *Ready Business*,
an extension of the *Ready* Campaign that focuses on business
preparedness. *Ready Business* helps owners and managers of small to
medium-sized businesses prepare their employees, operations and assets
in the event of an emergency. In 2006, Homeland Security launched *Ready
Kids*, a tool to help parents and teachers educate children, ages 8 -
12, about emergencies and how they can help get their family prepared.
There are also Spanish language campaigns, *Listo America, Listo
Negocios* and *Listo Niños.*

**Question: What is *Resolve to be Ready*?**

**Answer:** As people think about their New Year's resolutions this
year, we hope they will make a resolution that is both important and
easy to keep: preparing themselves, their families and their workplaces
for emergencies. *Resolve to Be Ready* is an effort by the Ready
Campaign and its partners to encourage Americans to follow three simple
steps: get an emergency supply kit, make a family emergency plan and be
informed about the types of emergencies that can occur in their area and
the appropriate responses.

**Question:** **What resources are available for emergency
preparedness?**

**Answer:** By visiting [ready.gov](http://www.ready.gov/) or calling
1-800-BE-READY, individuals and businesses can learn how to prepare
their families and workplaces for emergencies including natural
disasters and potential terrorist attacks. Free materials, including
family emergency plan templates and sample business continuity plans,
are available on the Web site providing Americans with the resources
needed to make New Year's resolutions that will bring piece of mind.

**Question: What should be included in an emergency supply kit?**

**Answer:** In a basic emergency supply kit**,** the *Ready* Campaign
recommends including the following:

-   One gallon of water per person per day, for three days -- remember
    to include enough for your pets, too

-   At least a three-day supply of non-perishable food. Select foods
    that require no refrigeration, preparation or cooking and little or
    no water and choose foods your family will eat: ready-to-eat canned
    meats, peanut butter, protein or fruit bars, dry cereal or granola.
    Also pack a manual can opener and eating utensils

-   Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with
    tone alert and extra batteries for both

-   Flashlight and extra batteries

-   First aid kit

-   Whistle to signal for help

-   Dust mask, to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and
    duct tape to shelter-in-place

-   Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal
    sanitation

-   Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities

-   Local maps

> *Ready* also encourages an individual to think about the special needs
> of family members:

-   Prescription medications and glasses

-   Infant formula and diapers

-   Pet food, extra water for your pet, leash and collar

-   Important family documents such as copies of insurance policies,
    identification and bank account records in a waterproof, portable
    container

-   Books, games, puzzles or other activities for children

> For a complete list of items, we encourage people to visit
> [ready.gov](http://www.ready.gov/) to download a free emergency supply
> checklist or call 1-800-BE-READY.

**Question: How can I develop a family emergency plan?**

**Answer:** Preparing a family emergency plan is free and simple. You
can get started by using a free family emergency plan template available
at [ready.gov](http://www.ready.gov/). A family emergency plan can help
a family to stay in contact if they are separated during an emergency.
Make it part of your New Year's resolution to take a few minutes to sit
down with your family and fill out the information. It will give you a
peace of mind as you celebrate and embark into the New Year!

**Question: How can I stay informed about emergencies?**

**Answer:** It's important that you know the potential emergencies that
can happen in your state, region, and community. Go to
[ready.gov](http://www.ready.gov/) and click on *Ready America*, then
Community and States Information to find out more information about your
local area. *Ready* recommends including a battery operated radio, such
as a NOAA radio with tone alert, to stay apprised of developments during
emergencies. It is always important to listen to and follow the advice
of local officials in the event of an emergency.

***[Citizen Corps]{.underline}***

**Question: What is Citizen Corps?**

**Answer:** Citizen Corps is a grassroots initiative to strengthen
America's communities and increase their resiliency to the wide array of
natural and man-made hazards that threaten our safety and security. The
program was created by the President in 2002 and is headquartered in the
Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Community Preparedness
Division. Inspired by the vast outpouring of spontaneous volunteer
support after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Citizen Corps
strives to answer the essential questions "What can I do?" and "How can
I help?" in a meaningful way. Citizen Corps does this by providing local
opportunities for Americans of all abilities to prepare, train and
volunteer to help address all types of natural and man-made hazards.
Please visit [citizencorps.gov](http://www.citizencorps.gov/) for more
information.

**Question: What is the Citizen Corps mission?**

**Answer:** Citizen Corps' mission is to bring community and government
leaders together to coordinate the involvement of community members and
non-governmental resources in emergency preparedness, planning,
mitigation, response, and recovery.

**Question: How does Citizen Corps work?**

**Answer:** With so many different roles and functions to play in an
emergency, successful response and recovery must be supported by
well-coordinated planning, training, and preparation. Citizen Corps
Councils are designed to bring together government, community leaders,
first responders, emergency managers, businesses, non-profit and
volunteer organizations, and other groups with a direct interest in
strengthening their communities. When disaster strikes, everyone knows
what their role is, who they need to coordinate with, and how to get
support where and when it is needed most.

**Question: Where are Citizen Corps Councils located?**

**Answer:** Over 2,200 State, local, tribal and territorial governments
all 56 states and U.S. territories have formed Citizen Corps Councils,
and every day new Councils are formed in communities around the country.
These Councils help drive local citizen preparedness and participation
by assessing possible threats, identifying local resources, developing
community action plans, and coordinating Citizen Corps programs to train
and exercise volunteers. To find a Council near you, visit
[citizencorps.gov/cc/CouncilMapIndex.do](http://www.citizencorps.gov/cc/CouncilMapIndex.do).

**Question: What are Citizen Corps Partner Programs and Affiliates?**

**Answer:** Citizen Corps works with five national Partner Programs
through partnerships with other federal agencies and national
organizations. The five programs---Community Emergency Response Teams
(CERT), Medical Reserve Corps (MRC), Fire Corps, USA On Watch/
Neighborhood Watch (NWP), and Volunteers in Police Service
(VIPS)---provide national resources for training and exercising citizens
at the state and local levels. In addition, 25 Citizen Corps Affiliate
Programs and Organizations offer community resources for public
education, outreach, and training; represent volunteers interested in
helping to make their community safer; or offer volunteer service
opportunities to support first responders, disaster relief activities,
and community safety efforts. Visit
[citizencorps.gov/programs/](http://www.citizencorps.gov/programs/) for
more information.

SAMPLE EVENTS ORGANIZATIONS CAN HOST TO ENCOURAGE

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AMONG
MEMBERS/EMPLOYEES/CUSTOMERS/CONSTITUENTS/COMMUNITies

-   Reach out to your local Citizen Corps Council to find out if they
    are organizing any New Year's events that your organization can
    sponsor. You can find local emergency contacts on the "Be Informed"
    section of [ready.gov](http://www.ready.gov/).

-   Reach out to your local American Red Cross Chapter to schedule a Be
    Red Cross Ready workplace or community presentation, or to find out
    if your organization can help sponsor or facilitate any preparedness
    events they may be holding in affiliation with their Be Red Cross
    Ready campaign which educates and engages people in first aid and
    CPR training or preparedness actions throughout the year. To locate
    the Red Cross Chapter in your area, visit:
    <http://www.redcross.org/where/chapts.asp>.

-   The National Weather Service---part of the National Oceanic and
    Atmospheric Administration---provides life-saving weather and water
    services, around-the-clock, every day. Each of its 122 forecast
    offices, which cover the United States and its territories, has a
    Warning Coordination Meteorologist (WCM) on staff who is the conduit
    between the local office and the community---from emergency
    officials to the public. To contact the WCM for your area, please
    visit: <http://www.stormready.noaa.gov/contact.htm>.

-   As you prepare your organization's holiday events, consider weaving
    in a preparedness theme. If you're hosting a dinner, consider giving
    each employee a flashlight or NOAA Weather Radio to include in their
    emergency supply kit at home.

-   Organize an emergency preparedness event for your employees and
    customers. Rent Rex, the *Ready Kids* mascot, and have activities
    for children to learn about the importance of having a family
    emergency plan.
