Community toolkit

Help a group prepare without collecting private plans.

Use a guided workshop, bilingual materials, and audience-specific kits for schools, libraries, nonprofits, neighborhoods, and employers.

Preparedness workshop mode

Guide a group without collecting anyone’s private plan.

Participants work on their own device or printed worksheet. The facilitator never needs financial inputs, contacts, or personal records.

Step 1

Open official information

Everyone identifies the alert and evacuation-zone source for the county they choose.

Community-use kits

One platform, several responsible uses.

School and youth

Age-appropriate family communication, authorized pickup, and out-of-area contact prompts. No student accounts or data collection.

  • Family discussion worksheet
  • Trusted-adult contact exercise
  • Take-home official-resource reminder

Libraries and nonprofits

A facilitator sequence, bilingual handouts, QR-ready links, and accessible printing guidance.

  • 60-minute workshop outline
  • Private-device participation instructions
  • Clear non-endorsement language

Neighborhood check-in

A printable method for voluntary check-ins and support planning. It is not an emergency-command system or a public resident directory.

  • Who checks on whom
  • Voluntary transportation backup
  • Offline contact copy

Employer readiness

Help staff make private plans while the business prepares communication, leave, closure, and reopening practices.

  • Staff workshop guide
  • Continuity checklist
  • Communication templates

Partner publishing toolkit

Share EmberReady without implying endorsement.

Materials should identify EmberReady as an independent civic-information project, keep official sources visible, and never place a partner mark in a way that suggests government approval.
