ReadyPlan
Most families have thought about emergency planning. Almost none have a written plan their household can actually follow. ReadyPlan walks you through building one — guided prompts, shared with every family member, accessible offline when infrastructure is gone.
- Scenario-based planning — guided prompts, no blank page
- Share with your household so everyone has the plan, not just you
- Syncs offline — works without WiFi or cell signal after first sign-in
- Export to PDF for a hard copy backup
- PACE communications planning built in

"WE WERE READY for a week of ICE. We have horses, chickens, and a water well along with a barn and outbuildings. It's very easy to forget something but we worked our plan. Thank you ReadyPlan."
"Mountains of paper simplified down into an app that I can easily use with my family. The interface is no frills and to the point. It works perfectly with my paper planners from MAD Gear."
"Makes it so anyone can prepare for a multitude of situations without needing any prior training or knowledge."
"This is my favorite readiness app and is better than anything I've seen in this category. With Inventory Checklists, PACE and EXFIL plans, you can sync the app with your family and print hard copies for your Go Bags."
"Easy to follow templates and checklists. Just adjust them for your individual needs."
