Roll up your sleeves and prepare to keep youth and staff safe if disaster strikes.

Ready for Anything: A Disaster Planning Manual for Runaway and Homeless Youth Programs (PDF) will guide you through the steps of putting together a disaster plan. You’ll learn how to deal with emergencies large and small, from hurricanes to kitchen fires. The manual is a must-read for every organization that works with runaway and homeless young people.

Ready for Anything was developed for the Family and Youth Services Bureau by NCFY and is also available in html.
