Terms of use

Educational preparedness information

StayReady is an independent educational tool that organizes official public information for general preparedness in Alameda County.

Not an emergency service

StayReady does not provide emergency response, real-time evacuation instructions, official alerts, or professional safety determinations. For immediate danger, call 911. Follow AC Alert and instructions from local emergency agencies.

No professional or property determination

Information on this site is not legal, engineering, insurance, medical, geotechnical, or property-specific advice. A mapped match or non-match does not determine whether a person or property is safe.

Acceptable use

Do not misuse the forms, attempt to disrupt the service, submit unlawful content, impersonate another person, or use StayReady to send emergency reports or sensitive personal information.

Availability and warranties

StayReady is provided on an as-available educational basis without a guarantee that every feature, source, or result will always be complete, current, or available.
