Be Ready, Be Mobile

The best way to be prepared is to have a plan. If you don't think you have the time, think again: NYC Emergency Management's Ready NYC app allows users to make their plan on the go with their smartphone or tablet. Once the plan is complete, you can share it with family and friends. If you're not tech-savvy, that's okay: you can get a hardcopy of the Ready New York: My Emergency Plan workbook (and other resources) by calling 311.
