READY Score

Know How Ready Your Household Really Is

Preparedness can feel confusing because most people don’t know what they already have, what they’re missing, or what should come first.

The 1776 Ready Score™ gives you a clear starting point.

One Score. Ten Areas of Preparedness.

Your household is evaluated across ten key categories:

  • Water

  • Food

  • Power & Lighting

  • First Aid

  • Sanitation & Hygiene

  • Cooking

  • Communications

  • Shelter & Climate

  • Evacuation

  • Documents, Cash & Planning

Together, these categories create a preparedness score from 0–100.

What Your Score Tells You

Your Ready Score helps answer:

Where do we stand today?

What are our biggest gaps?

What should we improve first?

What progress are we making over time?

For example:

READY SCORE: 43 / 100

Water — Needs Attention
Food — Building
Power — Needs Attention
First Aid — Ready

Current Priority: Water

The goal isn’t simply to get a higher number.

The goal is to understand what that number represents and make meaningful improvements to your household preparedness.

Your Most Important Gaps Come First

Not every preparedness category has the same importance.

1776 Ready gives greater weight to essential areas such as water, food, power, first aid, and sanitation.

A household shouldn’t appear highly prepared simply because it owns expensive equipment while lacking basic necessities.

That’s why the Ready Score looks at both your overall preparedness and your most important individual gaps.

Your Score Changes as You Prepare

Preparedness is progress.

When you add supplies, complete preparedness tasks, improve backup systems, or strengthen your household plan, your Ready Score can improve.

You’ll be able to see where you started, what you’ve accomplished, and what should come next.
