ReadyConnect.us for Communities

The full potential of ReadyConnect.us occurs when the entire community is connected. We have a community program with expanded services and communication tools to connect businesses, employees, residents, visitors, associations, and government.

With the community program, ReadyConnect accounts are provided to all businesses with a business license and anyone living in your community. Employees are automatically connected through their employer. Participants can opt-in to forums sponsored by local associations. Everyone is also connected to other ReadyConnect communities, so if they live in one area and work in another, they can receive information and services in both areas. In the event of a disaster, your community has a full toolkit to share information and work together towards recovery.

Match your goal to our service level

I want to offer a disaster toolkit to my local businesses with no community services.

I want to communicate with ALL businesses. Businesses can choose whether to receive upgrade services. (This option also allows you to provide upgrade services to all your members.)

Having an integrated disaster planning and recovery system is essential to my entire community - businesses, employees, residents, visitors, and community organizations.
