How Prepared Are You? Understanding Your Readiness Score

How prepared are you, really? It's easy to say "I should get ready" but hard to know where you stand or what to do next. HAVEN's Readiness Score quantifies your preparedness level and gives you a clear path to improvement.

The Ranking System

HAVEN measures your readiness on a 0-100 scale with five ranks:

Civilian (0-19): Just starting out. You've installed HAVEN but haven't taken many preparedness actions yet. Most people start here.

Aware (20-39): You've begun preparing. You have some supplies, a basic plan, and you're learning. You understand the importance of readiness.

Prepared (40-59): Solid preparedness foundation. You have supplies for 14+ days, a family communication plan, basic skills, and active scenarios.

Survivor (60-79): Advanced preparedness. Comprehensive supplies, multiple skills trained, family fully coordinated, scenario-specific preparations complete.

Guardian (80-100): Peak preparedness. You're ready for extended off-grid survival, have trained extensively, and could help your community in a crisis.

What Counts Toward Your Score

Your Readiness Score is calculated from multiple factors:

• Supplies: Coverage days, diversity of supplies, expiry management
• Knowledge: Completed training paths, drills performed, books read
• Planning: Family plan completion, meeting points set, emergency contacts listed
• Skills: First aid knowledge, scenarios studied, AI interactions
• Equipment: Gear readiness, map regions downloaded, AI model loaded
