The Multi-Tracking Evolution for Emergency Preparedness: 2010 and Beyond
by Andy Nunemaker, CEO, EMSystems
January 2010
Up until the early 2000s, disasters were often viewed on a short list of natural events - hurricanes, tornadoes, or wildfires, for example. As many of us have experienced this past decade, we learned that any region is at risk for natural or man-made unforeseen disasters and events.
Each year, we see increased interest in advanced disaster or mass casualty incident (MCI) responsiveness with city and state health departments. The definition of "disaster preparedness" has expanded into mass evacuations, pandemic management, health clinic operations, and special event medical preparation for all types of health agencies and organizations.

More on Solutions
Our Training and Exercises solution supports regional and statewide disaster preparedness exercises. Our specially trained clinical and technical experts assess, design, develop, plan, coordinate, and execute these exercises, onsite and remotely. Participants can be brought together in one physical location, as in a traditional "tabletop" exercise, or hold a "virtual event" in which participants attend from anywhere, using distance conferencing. These experts also assist with after action evaluations.
Our Program and Outreach Services consultants are located at the client's primary location of operations to assist the client in managing programmatic and marketing aspects of EMSystems’ emergency preparedness and response solutions. These full-time employees become an integral part of the client’s disaster planning team. They assess, create, implement, and evaluate the client’s program and outreach needs, and the education, training, and management skills that ensure the success of public health programs.
