Prepare for where you actually live.

What's in each guide

Seven sections. One state.

Each state guide covers the full picture of local preparedness — not just the hazards, but the people, programs, and resources specific to where you live.

Risk Readiness

Flood zones, earthquake risk, wildfire maps, well water quality, dam inundation zones, and drought monitoring specific to your state.

Local Learning

CERT training, Red Cross classes, Master Gardener programs, amateur radio licensing, SKYWARN, and extension office calendars.

Community

Local events, volunteer opportunities, mutual aid networks, and civic organizations in your county and region.

Emergency Contacts

State emergency management, county alert signup, nearest Level 1 trauma centers, evacuation routes, and shelter locations.

Gardening

Planting calendar by ZIP, hardiness zones, frost dates, soil survey, and extension office growing guides for your region.

Safety Net

Unemployment insurance, SNAP, LIHEAP utility assistance, Medicaid coverage gaps, and 211 services — specific to your state.

Checklists

Printable and interactive checklists that tie all six sections together into concrete next actions for your household.
