What Is a Community Readiness Partner?
Community Readiness Partners are trusted organizations that help raise awareness of preparedness resources and connect organizations with available readiness support opportunities.
Partners do not fund services, manage applications, schedule assessments, or administer programs.
Instinct Ready handles all program administration.
The partner's role is simple:
Awareness → Connection → Community Impact
Why We Created This Program
Many organizations recognize preparedness needs but lack the time, staff, or resources to provide direct support to every organization they serve.
The Community Readiness Partner Program creates a pathway for schools, nonprofits, healthcare organizations, businesses, and community organizations to access readiness resources and support opportunities through trusted community relationships.
Who Can Become a Partner?
The program is designed for organizations that support preparedness, resilience, and community capability.
Examples include:
Emergency Management Agencies
School Safety Organizations
Public Health Agencies
Community Foundations
Nonprofits
Regional Planning Organizations
Government Agencies
Professional Associations
Community Coalitions
