Our Mission: Instill emergency preparedness for all hazards as a fundamental principle of survival throughout the United States Marine Corps Community. 

 

 

WHAT IS READY MARINE CORPS?

Ready Marine Corps is the USMC’s proactive emergency prepared­ness, public awareness program. It provides information, tools, and resources to empower the Marine Corps community to live its ethos for “Being Most Prepared When Our Nation Is Least Prepared” in an all hazards environment. Initiated by Marine Corps Installations Command (MCICOM), the program is aligned with the National Ready Campaign and with other Department of Defense (DoD) and government Ready preparedness programs.

The information and materials found on the Ready Marine Corps website are designed to support operational force readiness by strengthening the Marine Corps Community’s ability to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and disasters. Preparedness information, tips, and recommendations found on the Ready Marine Corps website are closely aligned with those offered to the public by authoritative government resources such as Ready.gov, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Pet Tip: Pavement can be hotter than it looks. Hold your hand on the sidewalk for a few seconds—if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your pet’s paws. Walk during cooler times of the day to keep them safe. 🐾🐾 @MCRD_SD 📸 Cpl. Sarah Grawcock #ReadyUSMC #SummerReady https://t.co/PUjTsikRAT Pet Tip: Pavement can be hotter than it looks.

Clear dead leaves, pine needles, and wood piles within 5 feet of your home to reduce wildfire risk. Trim overhanging branches and use nonflammable landscaping like stone or gravel instead of mulch. #ReadyUSMC #FireSafety #SafetyFirst #DontWait https://t.co/G9z8mjnCVu Clear dead leaves, pine needles, and wood piles within 5 feet of your home to reduce wildfire risk.

Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours. Use broad‑spectrum SPF 30+ to protect against UVA/UVB. Sun damage adds up—even during everyday activities. Add extra protection with long sleeves, a wide‑brim hat, and sunglasses outdoors. Learn more: https://t.co/JkqleuLajM #ReadyUSM #DontFryDay https://t.co/MuMQrkG7Xi Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours.
