FORTUNE FAVORS THE PREPARED Ready LedgerYour household’s preparedness record. People, supplies, communications, medical and planning, in one place. Semper Paratus, Semper Gumby |
Launching at Mountain Readiness, Harmony, NC, October 23 to 25. Stop by the Fortune Favors the Prepared booth for a live demo.
Every plan you have, kept current, on your own computer.
Ready Ledger is a complete preparedness record for your family: who is in the household, where everyone meets, what you have and where it is kept, how you communicate, and what your family needs if something happens to you. It turns the five FFTP workbooks into one living record you can update in a few minutes and print whenever you need it.
It was built by an emergency manager with 30 years in law enforcement, EMS, search and rescue, 911 dispatch and emergency operations, for households who want a plan that actually works on a bad day.
The Assistant lays out the steps in order, ticks off what is done, and marks what comes next.

SEE IT IN ACTION
Take the 90 second tour
A walk through a sample household: overview, contacts, a winter storm watch, supplies, communications and printing.
START SMALL
Fifteen minutes at a time
You do not fill in a plan in one weekend. Ready Ledger asks what you want to work on, shows the steps in order, and takes you straight to the next one. Everything saves as you type, so you can stop anywhere and pick up where you left off.
Not sure where something goes? Type it into Search and the answer is at the top. Every page has its own Information, How Do I and Picture Guide help, plus a link to the related FFTP course.
BEFORE IT HAPPENS
Watch, then act
Situational awareness starts before anything happens. Name what you are keeping an eye on (a winter storm, flooding, a power outage) and work the checklist. Each item links to where the job is done. If it turns real, one click carries it into Operations, where messages and decisions are kept for the incident record.
- PREP-CON, COMCON and CONCON readiness conditions, set by you
- Watch checklists for winter storms, severe weather, floods and power outages
- Community SITREP and lifeline ratings for your area
- Import your FFTP Personal Preparedness Assessment (PPAR) or Area-Specific Assessment (ASAR) to fill in threats, triggers, community resources and more
Situational Awareness: readiness conditions at a glance, and a watch for the storm that is coming.
LOGISTICS
Know what you have, and where it is
Supplies, food and water, medications, assets, firearms and ammunition, all tied to the place they are actually kept: the house, the garage, the truck, the bin on the second shelf. Loan something out and every list shows who has it.
- Asset inventory, consumables, food storage calculator and perishables
- Printable inventory check forms for audits, grouped the way you walk your storage
- Scan items in with an inexpensive (about $20) USB barcode scanner. No phone, no app, no internet
- Print numbered asset tag labels on standard Avery address-label sheets
- Repairs and parts tracking, with a needs-repair flag on every asset
Logistics: supplies, assets, storage locations, barcode scanning and asset tag labels.
COMMUNICATIONS
Your comms plan, built the way responders build theirs
A complete frequency list in ICS-217 format, multiple ICS-205 communications plans that pull from it, and the repeaters, nets, DMR talkgroups, digital modes and mesh networks you rely on. Ham, GMRS, weather radio and more, organized in one place.
Communications: frequency lists, comms plans, radio programming, repeaters and nets.
A paper copy when the power is out
Print a whole plan in the format of its FFTP workbook, or just the sections you choose. Every page carries the FFTP logo and your license line, and printing always asks for your password first, so private records stay private.
The Print Center: print any of the five workbook formats as one PDF.
FIVE WORKBOOKS, ONE RECORD
Why you need them before you need them
|
Family Emergency Plan When phones are down and you are not together, everyone already knows where to meet, who to call and what to grab. |
Personal Preparedness Assessment Rate the threats where you live, so time and money go where they count. |
|
Mutual Assistance Group Roster, skills, training calendar, supply requests and mutual aid logs for your group. |
Household Recovery After a fire, flood or break-in, the insurer wants proof. Recorded now, a claim takes days instead of months. |
|
Next of Kin If you cannot speak for yourself, your family can find your policies, accounts and where the originals are. |
Ready Trainer Every page links to its related FFTP course. Ready Trainer, the FFTP self-study course library on USB, launches alongside it. |
|
PRIVATE BY DESIGN You decide who sees whatSensitive sections sit behind their own passwords. Share only the sections you choose with your group, each with its own password, and every file you send is password-encrypted. |
BRING WHAT YOU HAVE Already keep a spreadsheet?Every list has a template and an import. Label your existing columns to match and bring your inventory in. No retyping. |
FOR MUTUAL ASSISTANCE GROUPS
Everyone keeps their own plan
Each member keeps an individual Ready Ledger for their own household. One person maintains the group data and shares updates across the group, so every member holds a copy of the group plan. That is one more layer of backup when it matters.
Ready Ledger is available October 23
