NOLA Ready

NOLA Ready is the City of New Orleans’ emergency preparedness campaign, managed by the Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness. 

NOLA Ready manages the NOLA Ready Volunteer Corps and New Orleans Medical Reserve Corps in partnership with the New Orleans Health Department. 

We help residents, community & faith organizations, and businesses prepare for emergencies. Because together, we’re ready for whatever comes our way. During emergencies, NOLA Ready provides information at ready.nola.gov or on Twitter @nolaready.

The NOLA Ready Volunteer Corps helps to build a culture of preparedness and resilience, supporting first responders, community partners, and residents in disaster response and recovery efforts. As a NOLA Ready Corps volunteer, you will be part of team working to meet residents' needs before, during, and after emergencies. NOLA Ready Corps volunteers can receive training in hurricane preparedness, City-Assisted Evacuation, shelter operations, pet evacuation and sheltering, flood recovery, and more. The NOLA Ready Volunteer Corps is managed by the New Orleans Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness.

Within the NOLA Ready Volunteer Corps is the New Orleans Medical Reserve Corps (NOMRC), a medical and public health volunteer organization. The mission of NOMRC is to be a diverse group of committed volunteers with skills and expertise to supplement public health emergency preparedness and response in New Orleans. Volunteers receive training in First Aid/CPR, Psychological First Aid, vaccination outreach, meeting the needs of medically vulnerable populations, and more. NOMRC is managed by the New Orleans Health Department.
