“When written in Chinese, the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters – one represents danger, and one represents opportunity.” John F. Kennedy
Our Mission
The mission of Crisis Knowledge Management and Preparedness Foundation aka BePreparedBeReady.org is to provide educational services and programs to help individuals, businesses and communities become more sustainable and be ready and prepared for disasters and other crises. We are doing that by starting with protecting kids.
Why this mission is so important
With the frequency and intensity of natural and man-made disasters and crises on the rise. According to the UNICEF’s 2023 report, Humanitarian Action for Children” “The climate crisis is a child’s rights crisis. Climate change is the top driver of humanitarian need and human suffering. These consequences are already being felt by millions children, their families and communities worldwide.”

How can you can make a difference!
Many young people feel overwhelmed by all the global challenges. Sustainability can mean the difference between devastation and protection.
