Let's Get Ready!

Let's Get Ready! is an emergency preparedness program created by Sesame Street, which can be seen in streaming video on the Sesameworkshop.org website.

The program was created by the Department of Homeland Security's Ready Kids and the Ad Council. Additional funding came from American Greetings and the Blanche and Irvine Laurie Foundation.

The video stars Grover and Rosita, who give tips on how to prepare for emergencies, such as knowing your family members' names, making an emergency kit and knowing who to go to when an emergency happens.
