Description

Text 2 B Ready is designed to help people with disabilities and chronic conditions prepare for emergencies with text messages. Information about developing a personal emergency preparedness plan and go-kit is broken down into manageable segments which are shared with participants via weekly text messages. Participants who follow the prompts will successfully complete a basic emergency preparedness plan and go-kit over an eight-week period.
