"In Hurricane Katrina, people with disabilities died at more than twice the rate of the general population. In Hurricane Maria, disabled and elderly residents in rural Puerto Rico waited weeks for evacuation that never came. This is not a natural disaster problem. It is a systems design problem." — National Council on Disability, Preserving Our Freedom, 2019
Standard emergency management systems are designed for ambulatory adults who can drive, self-evacuate, and power their own devices. For the 61 million Americans with disabilities and 55 million Americans over 65, these plans are effectively written in a language they cannot use.
- People with disabilities die at 2-4x the rate of the general population in disasters (National Council on Disability, 2019)
- 61 million adults in the U.S. have a disability — 1 in 4 Americans (CDC, 2023)
- Power-dependent individuals (ventilators, oxygen concentrators, powered wheelchairs) face life-threatening risk within hours of an outage, yet fewer than 15% have a formal power backup plan (AARP, 2022)
- Less than 30% of local emergency plans include specific protocols for people with access and functional needs (FEMA, 2021)
Ready-All builds the plan that the system forgot to write.

| Annual Plan Review | Automated annual reminder to update equipment, medications, and contacts | FEMA Ready.gov |
| Citation | Finding | Relevance |
|---|---|---|
| NCD (2019) | Disabled individuals die 2-4x more in disasters; systemic exclusion from planning | Core mission |
| CDC (2023) | 1 in 4 U.S. adults has a disability; mobility, cognition, hearing most prevalent | Population sizing |
| AARP (2022) | < 15% of power-dependent individuals have formal backup power plans | Equipment continuity feature |
| FEMA (2021) | < 30% of local emergency plans include Access and Functional Needs protocols | Gap this fills |
