Ready Montco

Disaster can strike at any moment. Ready Montco will help you and your family prepare.

Montgomery County continuously faces emergency situations, and yet we know that most of our residents are not prepared for them. We know another emergency is coming; we just do not know when or what it will be. But we can and must prepare now for the next emergency – whether it is natural or man-made.

Montgomery County’s emergency professionals are among the most prepared professionals in the nation, well-trained with the latest technologies and resources to respond to any threat posed to the County. But it takes more than our emergency professionals to be ready. Residents and businesses must do their part to be prepared, aware and involved.

The Ready campaign is an educational program informing businesses and residents about the importance of preparing for any kind of natural, public health or man-made disaster. Working together, everyone can make a difference in creating awareness, motivating preparedness and encouraging involvement.
