Being prepared — making a kit, having a plan, and being informed — is the most important step Americans can take to help themselves, their families and their communities in times of emergency. The Ready Campaign, from the Department of Homeland Security in partnership with The Advertising Council, helps to educate and empower Americans to prepare for and respond to all kinds of emergencies.

On November 14, 2006, the campaign released new videos (public service advertisements) for individuals and families. These videos take a documentary style approach using real people with honest, unscripted answers in regards to their family's emergency preparedness plans.

You are welcome to link to these videos, and we encourage you to share this message with your friends.

To view all of the Ready Campaign's videos, visit the Ad Council Web site at AdCouncil.org.
