Prince William teamed up with actor and broadcaster Ross Kemp on Tuesday to unveil Ready Together. Ready Together is a new toolkit designed to help communities in the UK prepare for emergencies.
The initiative was created in partnership with the National Emergencies Trust. It was launched alongside Kemp, who serves as an ambassador for the charity.
Opening the campaign video, Kemp said: "You can't prepare for a Traitors roundtable, but you can prepare for an emergency." William shared the launch on Instagram on October 07, 2026. In that Instagram post, William wrote: "Many people are ready to help their neighbours in an emergency.
Far fewer feel their community has a plan in place." William later visited Ilminster Fire Station. He met firefighters and local partners working against the threat of wildfires across Devon and Somerset.
During the visit, the prince learned how mapping and forecasting technology assists rescue teams. The technology helps those teams identify high-risk areas.
