Ready, Set, Go! is a nationwide program managed by International Association of Fire Chiefs and endorsed by the USDA Forest Service and other federal agencies . The program delivers a three step process that teaches homeowners to create their own action plan of preparedness, have situational awareness and leave early in the event of a fire. This process significantly increases the safety of residents and increases the safety of emergency responders.
1) Assemble emergency supplies and belongings in a safe place.
2) Plan escape routes and make sure all those residing within the home know
the plan of action and practice it regularly.
