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).

⚡️ National Lightning Safety Awareness Week ⚡️ If you can hear thunder, you’re close enough to be struck by lightning. Stay safe: • Go indoors or into a hard‑topped vehicle • Avoid open areas, tall trees, and water • Wait 30 minutes after the last thunder before going outside https://t.co/wmwR8DRTRP ⚡️ National Lightning Safety Awareness Week ⚡️ If you can hear thunder, you’re close enough to be struck by lightning.

⚡Most lightning-related deaths occur when people are having fun outside. If you hear thunder or see lightning, immediately seek shelter in an enclosed building or vehicle.

Did you know that more than half of lightning-related deaths happen after a thunderstorm has already passed? Lightning can still strike miles away from the storm. Stay alert, remain cautious, and be aware of lingering dangers even when the rain has stopped. #ReadyUSMC #DontWait https://t.co/mH3Ve5BPVN Did you know that more than half of lightning-related deaths happen after a thunderstorm has already passed?

🚗☀️ Safety Tip: Never leave children or pets in a parked car. Temperatures can rise to dangerous levels in minutes—even with windows cracked. Stop. Look. Lock. Always check the back seat. #ReadyUSMC #SummerReady #StopLookLock #HeatSafety https://t.co/7hcAU1WE1w 🚗☀️ Safety Tip: Never leave children or pets in a parked car.
