About UK Ready

UK Ready is an independent public-information service (working name) helping households across the UK prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies.

Who operates this platform

UK Ready is produced by an independent editorial team. We are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the UK Government or the emergency services. Our role is to explain official guidance clearly and point you to the authoritative source.

Our purpose

To be a calm, trustworthy place people can turn to before, during and after an emergency — and a resource a household would genuinely bookmark, print from and install on their phone.

What we don't do

We never fabricate live incidents, speculate about threats, present rumours as intelligence, or publish safety-critical instructions without authoritative sourcing.

Information on this site supports, but does not replace, instructions from emergency services or government authorities.
