As a member, we pledge our support and commitment to you. Membership benefits include:
Personalized Support
We take our commitment to you very seriously. We have a dedicated staff, so please feel free to contact us at anytime if you have questions. As a member, you also have exclusive access to Red Cross training programs to help you implement your emergency-preparedness plan.
Ready Rating Seal
Once you have completed your online assessment, you may display the Ready Rating seal in accordance with your membership agreement. We encourage you to display this seal to help you communicate to the public your commitment to proactive preparedness.
Members-Only Web Content
We have developed a range of offerings to support your Ready Rating program membership, including tools that are easily and conveniently accessible online. We’ve created a members-only portal that provides instant access to important information, guides, and templates. The website provides a variety of materials that you can share, print and distribute as you see fit. These materials include template materials for communicating with your employees, clients, and members; materials to use with local media; idea sheets; and tips to completing the program criteria, and more.
Safety Stipend (Schools Only)
After your school has completed the five-step criteria, you will receive an unrestricted $300 Annual Safety Stipend to reward your emergency planning efforts!
Recognition
We will publish a list of all Ready Rating members each year. This list will also be available on our website.
