Ready: Whenever. Wherever. is a public awareness campaign that encourages Hoosiers to practice reasonable awareness and develop a plan for action in the event of an emergency.
Hoosiers are asked to pause and consider potential safety risks in their surroundings and to identify possible actions they could take to increase their personal safety in the event of an emergency.
