In order to encourage New Yorkers to prepare for disasters, the New York City Office of
Emergency Management, the American Red Cross in Greater New York and the Ad
Council have launched a new public service advertising campaign called Ready
New York.
The campaign asks individuals
to get prepared by taking three simple steps:
1) Get an emergency supply kit.
2) Make a family emergency plan.
3) Be information about the different types of emergencies
that could occur and the best responses to them.
It is important to engage your readers and all New Yorkers
in becoming better prepared for emergencies in their homes, business and
schools. Toward that end, we encourage you to write about Ready New York on
your site and share the following easy-to-use social media tools in your post:
* Ready New York City campaign website: www.readynyc.org /
www.listonyc.org
* Ready New York City widget that you can embed on your site
and share: http://seed.sproutbuilder.com/8gBY8e6WFwrKex14
The widget includes video messages from Commissioner Joseph
Bruno of the New York City Office of Emergency Management and American Red
Cross in Greater New York CEO Terry Bischoff as well as links to news and
information about the campaign.
