The Claremont GET READY initiative (Some would say Emergency Preparedness) is NOT designed to alarm or upset anyone. Rather, we are a team of committed, volunteer-residents, that aim to inform, prepare, organize, and from time to time drill with the sole intent of helping our community survive a major disaster. Over 80 volunteers, we ask ALL of our neighbors to help make a difference by partnering, pitching in, and preparing.
