As we come to the final part of this series and the culmination of our previous discussions, we arrive at the “why"—why it’s important to have data to measure readiness. As the title of this series states, we live in a time where disasters never sleep, and in fact, are becoming more commonplace.
Whether it’s the next 100-year flood, category 5 hurricane, or E5 tornado ripping through multiple states, is your state’s emergency resources capable of meeting the needs? Join us as our panelists discuss the importance of measuring our readiness and how a centralized, authoritative system of record can help.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Inefficient processes consume a lot of time of short-staffed agencies and state authorities.
Fragmented systems impose time-consuming processes and lack of comprehensive insight into available skills and resources across a state.
Lack of insight and comprehensive data makes it difficult to plan and budget for a state’s safety and emergency response needs.
Lack of data and insight can lead to inadequately resourced local public safety agencies and a lower quality response and that directly impacts public safety outcomes.
