Citizen Preparedness
FEMA is working to build a culture of preparedness in America. Being prepared is everyone's responsibility from individual citizens to businesses. The Department of Homeland Security and FEMA administer three main initiatives to achieve this goal - the Ready Campaign, FEMA's community preparedness informational materials and Citizen Corps.
