Ready! Coconino
Ready! Coconino is a program to ensure that citizens fully prepared to handle emergencies and disasters. Sign up for the Ready Coconino Emergency Notification System and read the Ready Coconino brochure. As far as the program goes, there are four simple steps.

Step 1: Have a Plan
Develop a family emergency evacuation plan together. Plan your escape routes from your home, neighborhood, and community. Have a meeting point and distant relative or friend that everyone can report to if separated.

Step 2: Be Ready 
Have a go kit that includes a 72-hour supply of water, nonperishable food, change of clothes, battery operated radio, flashlight, blankets, and sleeping bags. Include a first aid kit; computer files on an external / portable drive; copies of important documents, medicines, and specials items; and infants, elderly, and special needs family members. Remember to bring family pictures that can’t be replaced and your pets for ordered to leave. Have both a go kit and stay kit for sheltering in place.

Step 3: Stay Informed 
When a crisis occurs, local public safety officials have three methods to alert the public:

1. Alerts
   Alerts will broadcast on the local radio, television, newspapers, and government webpages such as Arizona Emergency Information Network (AzEIN).
2. The Emergency Alert System (EAS)
   Messages are rebroadcast on NOAA weather radio, AM and FM radio, and television.
3. Ready! Coconino Notification System
   This system uses an E9-1-1 telephone number data bases and GIS mapping to locate specific communities to notify in an emergency. The message is recorded by local emergency officials and broadcasted to your home via computer and telephone lines. If you only have a cell phone or VoIP computer phone number, fill out the form at the top of the page.

Keep a portable radio or weather radio handy. Stay tuned. Learn about the hazards in your community. Be part of Ready! Coconino system and register now.

Step 4: Volunteer
Public safety needs your help. Volunteer in your community. Join a Community Emergency Response Team(CERT); the American Red Cross, or Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD). Be part of the response team. We like to see neighbors helping neighbors and communities helping each other.
