## What is ReadyPlan?

ReadyPlan™ provides dedicated tools to cover every angle of your emergency preparedness:

Step-by-Step Emergency Plans: Create detailed action plans tailored to potential situations like severe weather, power outages, or personal emergencies. Our structure makes planning straightforward, even for beginners.

Plan Evacuation Routes: Map out primary and alternate escape routes, safe locations (rendezvous points), transportation details, and essential gear for leaving an area quickly and safely during an emergency.

Organize Backup Communications: Ensure you can always stay in touch, even if your primary method fails. Easily organize all your communication options from primary methods down to emergency backups, including equipment details. Think through your options: Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency (often called a PACE plan).

Secure Group Identification: Enhance your group's security, especially when linking up or verifying identities. Use pre-arranged challenge-response codes for confirmation. 

Protect Sensitive Messages: Keep critical information private using proven security principles. This section lets you record unique keys for manual encoding/decode (encrypt) sensitive messages, ideal for information needing extra protection.

Essential Checklists: Never forget crucial gear again. Utilize easy-to-use, resettable checklists for your master Inventory List, Go-Bag Packing List, and Vehicle Checklist – perfect for getting your gear organized systematically.

Secure Group & Family Sharing: Collaboration made safe. Securely share specific plans or checklists with designated group members or family, ensuring everyone stays informed and coordinated for enhanced group safety.

PDF Export: Need a hard copy? Generate PDF versions of your plans for printing physical backups or offline reference (COMING SOON)

Offline Access: Critical information when you need it most. Access your saved plans directly on your device, even when cell signal or Wi-Fi is unavailable.

### 5/5 — Saved my family

*2026-06-10, version 1.4.5*

You need this

### 5/5 — Very good

*2026-03-23, version 1.4.3*

The more you plan. The better the the plan.

### 5/5 — Just get it!

*2026-02-19, version 1.4.1*

This is my favorite readiness app and is better than anything I’ve seen in this category! It is perfect for novice and experienced prepared citizens. There are tutorials and templates that guide you through making emergency plans for almost anything that may make you bug in or out. With Inventory Checklists, PACE and EXFIL plans, you can sync the app with your family and print hard copies for your Go Bags. I have to compliment the speediness and professionalism of their support team. They ask for your feedback on improvements or bugs and I was surprised with how fast they replied. They are also making constant improvements to the app. I am definitely recommending this to my friends and family. This app is a must for anyone wanting to be prepared for unexpected emergencies.

### 1/5 — Poor UX, very buggy.

*2026-02-09, version 1.4.0*

This seems like a data grifter with such a ridiculous subscription fee when the app crashes constantly or forces the onboarding tutorial over and over. Skip buttons fully inoperable. Be weary of this…

### 5/5 — Icemageddon ‘26 Texas

*2026-02-05, version 1.4.0*

I know I have reviewed this app before but I have to say WE WERE READY for a week of ICE. We have horses, chickens, and a water well along with a barn and outbuildings with a small apartment. It’s very easy to forget something but
We worked our plan.
Thank you ReadyPlan!

### 5/5 — Great resource

*2025-10-15, version 1.3.4*

I’ve been hesitant about using apps like this, but this one takes the cake! Love the layout, simplicity, and ease of use.

### 5/5 — Great Peace of Mind!!

*2025-05-05*

Started using the ‘Original’ contingency planner about a year ago. Then the Field Package and Quick Draw cards are being used in different locations (barn, RV, horse trailer) and love them. But wait…the new APP is so easy to set up and use. Can’t wait to get set up to share with family! A true no brainer, Thanks!

### 5/5 — Thanks M.A.D. Gear!

*2025-05-04, version 1.0.2*

Super useful app! Makes contingency planning easy and succinct. Thanks to Ready Plan, I can now plan for emergencies big and small.

### 3/5 — Awesome resource

*2025-04-30, version 1.0.2*

Well designed app, easy to use. The subscription for premium is super steep. $40 for lifetime might be more reasonable than yearly.

### 5/5 — Good 2 go

*2025-04-27, version 1.0.2*

Easy to use, good planning tool. Annual plan is a good deal. Probably gonna get the family to sign up, wish there was a family plan
