123. What is Ready Army?
Ready Army is the Army Emergency Management
Program’s proactive campaign to increase the
resilience of the Army community by informing of
relevant hazards and encouraging Soldiers,

address the most critical needs and may not
even be able to get to an area until it is deemed
