How it works

One scenario at a time, in plain language.

ReadyCiv turns official preparedness advice into short lessons a person can finish on a phone, and checks that they could act on it.

  1. Five minutes, one scenario

    Each lesson covers one situation and ends with a concrete step your household can take this week, plus what to do when the warning arrives.

  2. Protective actions only

    Calm, practical guidance. Nothing alarmist, nothing speculative about threats, and a clear pointer to official channels for instructions during an event.

  3. Checked, not assumed

    Short questions at the end of every lesson ask whether you could act on it, not whether you can repeat a definition.

Questions

Before you ask

Who is ReadyCiv for?
Two readers. Civil-defence and public-safety agencies license it so their residents get consistent, official-grade preparedness guidance. Residents use it on their phones, five minutes at a time, with or without an agency behind them.
Is the advice official?
Lessons follow the level of public civil-defence advice: protective actions only, plain language, and a clear instruction to follow official channels during an event. They never speculate about threats and never replace the instructions your authorities issue.
How long does a lesson take?
About five minutes. A track is five lessons on one scenario, so a household can finish one in under half an hour, spread across as many days as they like.
Do people need any training?
No. Every lesson assumes no prior training and explains any term in one sentence the first time it appears.
What is free?
Five tracks are free: water storage, power outages, sirens and alerts, official channels, and starting a neighbourhood preparedness group. Everything else is a flat price per person, or per seat for an agency or organisation. Both are on the pricing page.
Can an agency offer it to a whole population?
Yes. Seats are bought on the web by whoever runs the programme, people join through one invite link, and the dashboard shows progress. Tell us the size of the population through the contact form and we will come back with a proposal.
