What you get

One practical flow that moves from local risk context to household action.

Understand your risks

See top hazards with clear labels for address-level checks, local plan context, ZIP fallback, and county guidance.

Prepare your household

Turn hazard information into direct steps for supplies, communication, evacuation, medication, pets, and family needs.

Plan for recovery

Review recovery questions about insurance, documents, temporary housing, transportation, school, work, and finances.

A simple summary, not a black box.

StayReady is designed to show what was checked, why a hazard appears, what is uncertain, and what to do next.

How it works

The product keeps precision visible, so residents can tell the difference between checked data and fallback guidance.

1

Enter your address

Start with a street address in Alameda County. ZIP entry remains available when address checks are unavailable.

2

Check official maps and local plans

StayReady uses official public layers and reviewed local hazard plan context where the app can support it.

3

Get clear guidance

Read the top hazards, limitations, next steps, recovery questions, and source labels in plain language.

Built around official public information.

StayReady references sources such as FEMA flood information, CAL FIRE fire hazard severity zones, USGS and CGS earthquake context, and local hazard mitigation plans. The app should help you understand and prepare; official agencies remain the authority during emergencies.
