Are you actually prepared for an emergency? Most people aren't. Ready is the offline-first emergency preparedness app that helps your household stay safe during power outages, supply disruptions, and crisis situations — without needing an internet connection. YOUR 72-HOUR EMERGENCY KIT, ORGANISED Based on the official Latvian Ministry of Defence "What to do in case of a crisis" guidelines (2024 edition), Ready walks you through everything your household needs for the first 72 hours of a crisis. Track your emergency supplies, get notified before items expire, and know exactly what's missing from your household emergency plan — all in one place. WORKS WHEN THE INTERNET DOESN'T Unlike other emergency preparedness apps, Ready stores everything on your device. Your supply inventory, guides, and crisis plan are fully accessible offline — exactly when you need them most. KEY FEATURES - Supply tracker — log your emergency kit items with quantities and expiry dates. Get reminders before anything expires so your supplies are always ready. - 72-hour kit checklist — a complete civil preparedness checklist based on official Latvian Ministry of Defence guidelines. Quantities automatically scale to your household size. - Offline survival guides — practical guides on power outages, water purification, first aid, staying warm, and communication when the internet is down. No connection required. - Readiness score — see your household's preparedness at a glance. Know what you have, what you're missing, and what to do next. BUILT FOR FAMILIES, NOT SURVIVALISTS Ready is designed for everyday households who want to be prepared without the overwhelm. Clean, calm design. No military jargon. No fearmongering. Just practical emergency preparedness that fits into normal life. WHY EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS MATTERS NOW European civil protection authorities recommend every household maintain supplies for at least 72 hours. The Latvian Ministry of Defence, NATO, and the EU Commission all recommend civilians be self-sufficient for the first 3 days of any crisis. Ready makes this simple — track your food storage, water reserves, first aid supplies, and essential documents in one organised place. Whether it's a winter storm, a power outage, or a larger crisis, your household emergency kit will be ready. Ready is built for households across Europe and beyond. Available in English, Latvian, Estonian, Lithuanian, German, and Swedish. SECURE & PRIVATE Your privacy matters. All data is stored locally on your device and never shared with third parties. Ready works fully offline — your household information stays yours.
