The problem we all face
When a storm or emergency hits, most teams are flooded with information that’s unclear, scattered, or just not useful.
Here’s what usually happens:
- Too many messages: email threads, text chains, social media, group calls
- Too many sources: every department sees only part of the story
- Too many delays: crews end up waiting while leaders search for the facts
ReadyOps is designed to solve this. It gives vetted, trusted peers a secure, private space to share verified updates and intel that actually help industry responders on the ground.
What makes ReadyOps different
- Private: All users are vetted and validated.
- Trusted voices only: Members include utility operators, emergency managers, vetted contractors
- Fast delivery: Everything is sent through the SIGNAL app and arrives instantly
- Cross-sector visibility: Members include electric, fuel, telecom, transportation, medical, retail, finance, state/local emergency managers, transportation and law enforcement, and more
ReadyOps keeps things simple by focusing on just one goal: getting the right information to the right people from trusted people —fast, secure, and from sources you already trust.
Who uses ReadyOps
The people using ReadyOps are not passive observers. They’re the ones who have been answering the call, moving assets, and managing field teams, logistics, and resources across states and industry sectors.
- Electric utilities: mutual aid planners, storm leads, resource managers, contractor managers, and logistics professionals.
- Fuel and pipeline operators: logistics coordinators, dispatchers
- Telecom and rail: infrastructure restoration teams
- Medical & Transportation: planners, logistics, freight operations
- Contractor Networks: restoration, materials movements, staging, debris removal
- State / local emergency managers: people who issue declarations and waivers, authorize access, activate road restrictions and curfews, and issue situation reports, public guidance, and more
If you're already making the decisions that affect how crews move and respond, you'll be in good company here.
How it works
Most platforms overload you with updates and chatter. ReadyOps delivers only what’s useful—and only from trusted peers.
1. You get immediate updates you can act on
When a major event unfolds, you'll start receiving targeted messages in SIGNAL from other vetted members. These updates include the things that actually help crews move faster:
- road closures
- fuel availability
- declarations & waiver access
- staging area updates
- outage conditions
- And more...
2. Every post is filtered for one purpose: helping crews respond faster and reduce delays
There are no social threads, discussions, or off-topic updates. Every message in the channel is directly tied to something operational—something you can either use, forward, or act on immediately.
You don’t waste time sorting. You just see what matters and move.
What to know about ReadyOps membership
Not everyone gets access. And that's the point. A good network is built on quality, not quantity.
- Seats are capped to avoid overload
- All updates are operational only; no off-topic chatter or promotions
- Every member is added based on their role, not just their organization
Membership is selective so the channel stays fast, focused, and built around professionals who know what’s at stake.

Who can join?
What is ReadyOps and who uses it?
It’s a private SIGNAL-based messaging channel for utilities, contractors, other sector operations professionals, and state/local emergency managers to share secure crisis updates across 42 states.
Will ReadyOps compete with existing electric sector communications mechanisms?
No. ReadyOps will be governed by its users, who will decide what is to be shared within the ReadyOps channel and what is not. ReadyOps is a cross-sector information resource that broadens everyone's situational awareness across multiple sectors and states. ReadyOps will not compete with existing electric sector mechanisms, but only enhance them with information from states and other sectors that are engaged in the same incident(s).
What If We Have Partners Outside of our sector that want to join?
Have them visit www.readyops.org for more information have them send an email to [email protected] for review.
ReadyOps is not open to media and non-perational users.
How is this different from email or text chains?
What kind of updates are shared?
How does it stay secure?
All messages run through the encrypted SIGNAL app and are FOIA-protected under the SISE (Sensitive Information Sharing Environment) legal framework.
How quickly will my team start receiving alerts?
Most teams are live and receiving updates the same day they join. They will not see any posts prior to their joinging the ReadyOps channel.
Do you provide training?
Yes. Each subscription includes a setup guide, onboarding call, and ongoing support.
Can we message peers directly?
Yes. ReadyOps supports both broadcast alerts and private peer-to-peer communication per the SIGNAL app's capabilties.
What events are typically covered?
Storms, hurricanes, wildfires, major outages, curfews, major road closures, and cross-state mutual assistance events, industrial accidents, cyber outages, infrastructure disruption, etc....
How is pricing determined?
Pricing is per seat, per year. Tiers scale with the number of seats: 1–2 users $1,000/u, 3–4 users $900, 5–9 users $800, 10+ users $750.
If we add more seats later, do earlier licenses change price?
No. Existing seats keep their original price. New seats are billed at the current tier rate.
Can licenses be reassigned if staff changes?
Yes. Each seat can be reassigned once per year.
Can we cancel or get a refund mid-term?
No. Because intel access is immediate, all sales are final. However, unused seats may be reassigned.
When does the subscription term start and end?
Each subscription lasts 12 months from the date of purchase. All additional seats align with the same end date.
