About Be Ready: Nearly 30 years ago,  Al Cabacungan and his partner created Be Ready Disaster Preparedness to be a one-stop-shop emergency supplies center for families and communities preparing to be self-reliant during disasters.  At the time, the idea was so new that Entrepreneur Magazine highlighted the venture, and late-night programs like Jay Leno and David Letterman laughed across the nation at those strange Californians putting together 72-hour survival kits and selling supplies for long-term water and food storage.  No one is laughing anymore.  In 2001 BE READY was incorporated and became Be Ready Inc, a family-owned and operated retail store.

Their lively seminars and classes educate surrounding communities, businesses, churches, schools and family groups not only in the San Diego County area, but also as featured speakers at trade shows across the nation from Washington to Florida.

Be Ready Inc. is a time-tested retailer, manufacturer and distributor of disaster preparedness supplies, including emergency water, water filtration, food storage, water storage, solar lighting and battery packs, water filtration, 72-hour kits, etc. 

We help communities be ready for disasters,
one business, one hospital, one agency, one school, one family, one individual at a time.
