In recent years, the American people have been urged to “get ready” and to prepare for emergencies—from natural disasters to terrorist attacks. But no one has ever given the public a simple, comprehensive and consistent tool to actually measure how prepared they are. No one has ever provided communities and the nation as a whole with a practical “gauge” to assess their preparedness, recognize their successes, and identify gaps where more work needs to be done. Until now!
