    #ReadyWhen Quickstart Inventory

    A New Model for Community Disaster Readiness

  • Venues and event organizers routinely manage crowds, coordinate logistics, and communicate under pressure—capabilities that matter in emergencies. This brief survey is a jumpstart to seeing your work through a resilience lens, and your responses will help us build resources to meet your interests, needs, and challenges. 

    Who should complete this survey: Anyone interested in the #ReadyWhen model! You don't need to be in a leadership position: this survey captures your interest and needs, not detailed organizational information.

    Estimated completion time: 5 minutes to answer all questions (most are optional)

  • We take privacy seriously.We use responses in aggregate (with all identifying information removed) to develop resources and advocate for policy changes and funding opportunities. We'll never share your individual responses. Learn more in our data privacy policy.
