Prepare for Emergencies

What do you want to prepare for?

There are many types of emergencies that you can prepare for. These range from personal emergencies involving spiritual crisis and mental health issues (like anxiety and depression), to global issues like wars and pandemics. 

We've organized emergencies into six general categories and invite you to explore them by clicking on the links below. Explore the category that means the most to you or that gives you the most anxiety, and start getting Ready In Real Life!

Every person and area of the world is different and some types of emergencies will be less likely or meaningful for you. For example, a person living in Africa may need to prepare for drought while a person living in England may need to prepare for job loss. Someone living in a big city may need to prepare against pollution and air quality issues, while someone living near the ocean may need to prepare against hurricanes and flooding. 

No matter who you are or where you live, there is always something to prepare for. If you are prepared you will significantly reduce your fear of the future and of the unknown.

Still not sure where to start?

We recommend preparing for Personal emergencies first. This category of disasters gives you a solid foundation for handling other types of emergencies and leads naturally into preparing you for family and household emergencies. From there, you can branch into other disasters that are most relevant to you.
