Why We Exist

Preparedness is documented intent. Readiness is demonstrated capability.

Emergency plans can pass review and still fail in execution. The real question is whether a hospital, response agency or business can recognize the threat, activate the right people, make decisions, and execute during the first operational period.

Contaminated patient CBRN event Active threat Mass casualty Infrastructure failure
Preparedness

Documented intent.

Plans, policies, equipment inventories, training records and scheduled exercises.

Readiness

Demonstrated capability.

People recognizing the problem, exercising authority and performing the mission under pressure.
