Get Prepared

Lets’s go! An emergency can occur at any time and without warning, it’s important to prepare before it’s too late. Being Ranger Ready means equipping yourself with the knowledge and tools to prevent, respond, and recover from any and all emergencies. Being prepared is both an individual and an organizational responsibility, so let’s work together.

For several days after an emergency, while first responders and the university manage the aftermath, you and your family could be on your own — it’s going to take us a while to set up our mass care supports. So get prepared. Make a plan and make a kit.
