GNY Winter Training Weekend 2024

We are offering another free self- guided online emergency preparedness training for local business, schools, and non-profit organizations, called Ready Rating. What is Ready Rating:
The Red Cross Ready Rating program provides a framework designed to: 1) Help businesses, organizations, and schools become prepared for emergencies; 2) Help increase the level of preparedness among individuals and families; and 3) Encourage businesses, schools and organizations to help their local communities prepare for emergencies.
This program does more than provide useful emergency preparedness information. The Ready Rating Assessments and Membership Seal make emergency preparedness measurable and visible, bringing concrete elements to an expansive framework. Additionally, the American Red Cross can provide a number of services to enhance emergency preparedness efforts that your organization undertakes.
Any business, school, or organization who is committed to improving their emergency preparedness is welcomed and encouraged to join the Ready Rating program.
