Building a personal emergency plan is difficult because most guidance is generic. It rarely accounts for your household, your space, or the situations you are most likely to face.
The Ready For Unsteady emergency preparedness app helps you build a personalized plan that fits your real life. Instead of overwhelming checklists, it breaks preparedness into small, manageable steps based on your needs and priorities.
The Ready For Unsteady app is now available on iOS and Android and is designed for everyday people who want to feel more prepared without going to extremes.
Why One-Size-Fits-All Disaster Plans Don't Work
If you’ve ever searched for emergency preparedness tips online, you’ve probably noticed something frustrating: most advice is generic at best, unrealistic at worst.
The truth is, the emergency plan for someone in a high-rise apartment in Seattle faces very different challenges than a family in a single-story home in Florida. Your personal situation matters—from your dwelling type to your local disaster risks, from your mobility needs to your family structure.
Your Life, Your Plan: The Personal Approach to Preparedness
The Ready for Unsteady App starts with you, not generic checklists or overwhelming supply lists. Here’s how our personalized approach works:
Custom Dwelling Settings
Whether you live in:
- A single-family house
- An apartment
- A mobile home
- A condo
- Student dorm
Our app tailors your emergency plan to your specific living situation. Because evacuation routes from the 15th floor look very different than from a ranch-style home.
Regional Disaster Focus
Why prepare for tsunamis if you’re in Kansas? Or dust storms if you’re in Maine? The Ready for Unsteady App helps you prepare for the disasters most likely to affect your region:
- Hurricanes
- Earthquakes
- Floods
- Wildfires
- Winter storms
- Tornadoes
- Power outages
- And more
We’ll guide you through preparations specific to your actual risks, not hypothetical scenarios that waste your time and resources.
Resource Planning Made Simple
Gone are the days of overwhelming, expensive prepper lists. Our app helps you identify:
- What you already have that can serve dual purposes
- What you genuinely need based on your specific risks
- How to build your supplies gradually and affordably
- Where to store items in your specific dwelling type
The result? A practical resource plan that works for your space, budget, and actual needs.
Emergency Mode: When Seconds Count
When disaster strikes, fumbling through apps is the last thing you need. That’s why we’ve created Emergency Mode—a one-touch solution that transforms your phone into a command center when you need it most:
- SOS Alarm: A high-decibel alert to signal for help
- Emergency Services Direct Dial: Quick access to 911 and local emergency services
- Trusted Contacts Alert System: Notify your emergency contacts with a single tap
- Location Sharing: Let loved ones know exactly where you are
Evacuation Coordination
The Ready for Unsteady App helps you plan and store multiple meeting locations:
- Outside Your Home: Where to gather if you need to evacuate quickly (like the mailbox or a neighbor’s driveway)
- Outside Your Neighborhood: A meeting spot if your immediate area is inaccessible
- Outside Your City: A safe destination for major evacuations
Each location can be mapped, shared with family members, and accessed offline when networks are down.
