We’re excited to announce a new campaign that focuses on emergency preparedness efforts! Our Good & Ready campaign encourages Americans to create personal and family emergency plans, build emergency preparedness kits, and to get trained to be an emergency response volunteer.

We’re partnering with the American Red Cross, Ready.gov and FLASH, the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes, to help prepare communities for any type of emergency that they may face and to highlight the importance of being prepared for emergency situations and disasters in your home and in your community.

Individuals can get prepared by making a pledge to make an emergency plan, build disaster preparedness kits for their homes and neighbors, or get trained to be an emergency response volunteer. After they’ve made the pledge, they’ll receive more detailed information about how to get Good & Ready that focuses on the types of emergency that their region may face.

When you make your pledge to get Good & Ready, you will be entered for a chance to win a $250 Lowe’s gift card in a weekly drawing, and be entered for the chance to win a $1,000 American Express gift card in the grand prize drawing held at the end of the campaign!  It’s a great opportunity to help improve your emergency preparedness plan, or an easy way to make a donation to an emergency response organization in your community!

So what are you waiting for? Join us and get Good & Ready for an emergency!
