Data questions, answered

Where does the readiness data come from?

GetRedy reads 38 live feeds published by official government and public agencies, including FEMA's National Risk Index, the National Weather Service, and USGS in the United States, plus official sources for Canada, Europe, and worldwide.

How current is the data?

The feeds are live official sources. Alerts, earthquakes, fires, and risk data are pulled fresh when your score computes or refreshes, so your requirement reflects what each agency currently publishes.

Does it cover my country?

Dedicated feeds currently cover the United States, Canada, and Europe, and worldwide feeds apply everywhere else, so every region gets a meaningful score.
