Ready New York Ready New York is NYC Emergency Management's public education campaign. Through the program, you can learn about the hazards you may face in New York City and prepare for all types of emergencies by writing an emergency plan, choosing a meeting place, gathering supplies for your home, and preparing a Go Bag in case you need to leave your home in a hurry. For emergency preparedness presentations and events, visit the Ready New York webpage or email readyny@oem.nyc.gov.
Ready New York also conducts a Train the Trainer program for local leaders through which they are trained to conduct emergency preparedness presentations for their communities. This training can be requested by community-based organizations and faith-based organizations by emailing readyny@oem.nyc.gov.
