CitizenReady

CitizenReady® is a standardized, national disaster health education program that provides critical medical and mental health information to help individuals protect themselves an others in a disaster or other serious emergency.

The CitizenReady program will: (1) provide competency-based education to help citizens protect themselves, assist others, and enhance national efforts to prepare for, respond to and recover from incidents of terrorism and other catastrophic events; (2) incorporate ways to make the training widely available; and (3) encourage public participation in local preparedness and response efforts. The courses are intended to be delivered at no charge or at cost.
