What Is Get Ready?
We’re Laura and Janet Greenwald, authors of the books Get Your Stuff Together, Notify In 10, Ready & Connected, creators of the popular blog Connected, co-founders of the Next of Kin Education Project and one of the only mother and daughter writing teams in the entertainment industry.
Our original Get Ready campaign was a huge success, providing families in Colorado, with the resources they needed to get through the aftermath of deadly wildfires.
After the recent hurricanes, wildfires, mudslides, floods, volcano and tornadoes, we expanded Get Ready, to give families who were impacted by those disasters the vital tools and resources they need to deal with emergencies before they happen. With the help of sponsors including Iridium Satellite Phones, our goal is to donate at least 200,000 free downloadable copies of the PDF versions of their newest books Ready, Connected & Listo En 10 to families in Texas, Florida, California, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
