Be Ready asks every household to prepare. See how many have.
A free app that helps each household make an emergency plan and keep it current, with a dashboard showing your forum where readiness is improving, council by council.
People feel informed. Most are not prepared.

A household plan in two minutes, kept current
Real screens from the working app. From opening it to a personal answer takes six screens and seven taps. Sign-up asks only for a ZIP code or postcode and an email.
Where they stand
A score that says what it is out of, and the one thing worth doing next.
The plan they agreed
How they reach each other, where they meet, and the out-of-area contact everyone checks in with.
When it happens
One tap records "I am OK" on the phone, beside who they have yet to hear from.
Your area in the app, and the figures behind it
A new area is added through settings, with no new build. Always free for residents.
Your local pack
Hazards from your Community Risk Register, with contacts, rest centres and local radio, inside the app.
A dashboard of anonymous counts
Households with a plan, three days of water and an out-of-area contact, by council and ward. Never an individual household.

Works alongside what you already run
Alerts tell people something is coming. This covers the step before: a household plan that is ready when the alert arrives.
Be Ready
The national campaign and its printable plan. The app turns that advice into a plan each household keeps.
Emergency Alerts
The official warnings. The app never issues warnings of its own.
Floodline
Environment Agency flood warnings, which the app tells people to sign up for.
Your household plan template
The form you already hand out, in a version that stays current.
Built for the public sector
Counts, never people
You see numbers by area. Never a name, an email or a household plan.
Works offline
The plan lives on the phone and works with no signal, when it matters most.
Accessible
Meets WCAG 2.2 AA, with a published accessibility statement.
UK GDPR
A privacy summary ready for your DPIA, with UK hosting available.
