ReadyWhen is about fortifying the places we love against disaster, bringing together arts, culture, and emergency management to build readiness wherever people gather.
Our resources help communities recognize, train, and activate the mass gathering professionals already working in their cultural ecosystems… so festivals, museums, venues, and civic events become part of the preparedness workforce before the next disruption.
Here’s how:
The Tabletop
Our tabletop exercise is a fun, hands-on way to start the conversation about disaster readiness. Start finding new ways to position your existing capacities and quickly identify priorities to work toward. Plus there are M&Ms.
The Training
Our 15-hour Foundations Certificate in Event & Emergency Operations grounds you in the skills and systems that deliver successful events on blue sky days and become lifelines for communities when disaster strikes.
The Toolkit
Ready to make a difference? We’ve prepared fact sheets, resolution language, and partnership frameworks to help you lead the change toward readiness in your own organization or your local community.
