Abstract
The U. S. Department of Homeland Security launched the Ready public service campaign in 2003 to educate and provide the resources for the American people to prepare, respond, and mitigate emergencies and disasters. The web site provides tools for creating an emergency plan, and ways to stay informed and get involved in community preparedness. The goal of the web site and the campaign is to utilize public involvement to ease and lesson the affects of an emergency or disaster.
