How ReadyAF builds your emergency kit list

ReadyAF turns a street address into a prioritized emergency-kit list. The risk assessment and the essential-supply list are free, and there is no account to create.

  1. Enter the address you want to prepare

    Type in a street address — your home, a rental, a second property, or somewhere you are about to move. ReadyAF uses that address to pull the natural-hazard profile for that specific location rather than a national average.

  2. The AI risk engine ranks your hazards

    ReadyAF pulls live data for the coordinates you entered — USGS earthquake records from the past decade, the current weather forecast, and active crisis-news signals — and an AI model weighs them against established hazard science, including FEMA's National Risk Index methodology and NOAA/National Weather Service storm climatology, to rank which of 18+ natural-hazard categories are most likely to affect you.

  3. Get your free essentials list

    ReadyAF lists the highest-priority supplies for your ranked risks, scaled to your household size and whether you have pets, with a direct link to buy each item. This part is free and needs no account.

  4. Optional: unlock the complete kit guide

    A one-time $14.99 purchase adds the rest of the personalized kit list, emergency action guides for your top-ranked risks, and a printable PDF you can keep offline. One payment, not a subscription.

Frequently asked questions

What is ReadyAF?

ReadyAF is a free, AI-powered emergency-preparedness tool. You enter your address and an AI risk engine analyzes the natural-disaster threats most likely to hit your specific location — combining live USGS earthquake data for your coordinates with established hazard science from FEMA's National Risk Index and NOAA/National Weather Service — then lists the emergency-kit essentials prioritized for those risks.

Is ReadyAF free?

Yes. The address-level risk assessment and essential-supply preview are completely free. An optional one-time $14.99 PDF guide unlocks the full personalized kit list with direct purchase links and emergency action steps. No subscription.

How accurate is the risk assessment?

ReadyAF pulls live USGS earthquake records, current forecast conditions, and active crisis-news signals for your coordinates, then an AI model ranks your hazards against established hazard science — FEMA's National Risk Index methodology, USGS seismic-hazard mapping, and NOAA/National Weather Service storm climatology. It is a planning aid to help you prepare — not a real-time alert system, and not a substitute for official guidance from your local emergency-management agency. ReadyAF is independent and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by FEMA, NOAA/NWS, or USGS.

Is ReadyAF a substitute for 911 or official emergency services?

No. In an active emergency, call 911 and follow instructions from local authorities and the National Weather Service. ReadyAF helps you prepare before a disaster; it does not replace official warnings, evacuation orders, or professional emergency services.

What disasters does ReadyAF cover?

ReadyAF analyzes 18+ natural-hazard categories — including hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, floods, tornadoes, extreme heat, and winter storms — and tailors the kit to the risks ranked highest for your address.

How do I build an emergency kit personalized to my location and risks?

Start from your actual local hazards instead of a generic checklist: find which disasters rank highest for your address — FEMA's National Risk Index, USGS earthquake-hazard mapping, and NOAA/National Weather Service storm climatology are the public record to check — then prioritize kit items for those specific threats (water and a NOAA weather radio everywhere, a go-bag and N95 masks where wildfire ranks high, a hurricane-season supply run on the coast). ReadyAF does this automatically: enter your address and the free 2-minute assessment pulls live USGS earthquake history for your coordinates, ranks your local risks, and lists the kit essentials matched to them.

How do I know which disasters to prepare for where I live?

Prepare for the hazards ranked highest for your specific address rather than every possible disaster. FEMA's National Risk Index scores natural-hazard risk down to the county and Census-tract level, USGS maps earthquake and landslide hazard, and NOAA/NWS records show local storm, flood, and heat history. ReadyAF's AI reasons over that public hazard record and pulls live USGS earthquake history for your coordinates, producing a free address-level risk assessment that tells you in about two minutes which threats actually apply to your location and what to stock for them.
