Ready Army

Ready Army is a new Army-wide campaign developed by the Headquarters Department of the Army, Army Emergency Management Program.

Prepare

Preparing in advance could keep an emergency from becoming a disaster for you and your family. When an emergency strikes, knowing what to do can save time, property and lives. Ready Army, a proactive campaign to prepare the Army Community, encourages Soldiers, their Families and Army Civilians to Get a Kit, Make a Plan and Be Informed.

Considerations for all Military Personnel and Families

Get A Kit:

Assemble emergency supplies in your home, car and workplace.
Be ready in case you must evacuate quickly.

Make A Plan:

Plan reactions to various emergencies.
Plan how your family can stay in touch.
Practice your plan.

Be Informed:

Know what emergencies are most likely to affect you and your family.
Know the local emergency warning system in your area and what actions to take if there is an emergency.

Report

Following certain catastrophic events, the Secretary of the Defense may direct all DOD-affiliated people in the affected area to check in with their command for accountability. If Internet connectivity is available, check in online using the Army Disaster Personnel Accountability and Assessment System (ADPAAS) at https://adpaas.army.mil.

ADPAAS enables Army officials to account for assigned personnel and their Family members and, if needed, provide assistance. ADPAAS links are also available at the Military One Source and Army One Source Web sites.

If you do not have Internet access or you do not receive other official reporting instructions, you may report your accountability status using any of the following methods:

1. Through your chain of command

2. By contacting any of the following approved call-centers:
