Avineon Inc., a provider of IT, geospatial, engineering and program management services, has unveiled its Readiness Index tool. The Readiness Index provides businesses with the opportunity to measure their emergency preparedness and will be introduced through a series of Webinar demonstrations. The Readiness Index is a secure online system with the functionality to measure and monitor emergency preparedness against a 1 through 100 scale, according to Avineon. The tool enables administrators to define and configure the measurement model with parameters such as business units and readiness drivers in accordance with the organization’s emergency plans. On a daily basis, the system computes an overall readiness index for the organization and also a readiness index by emergency type. Organizations such as government agencies (local, state, and federal), utility companies (electric, gas, telecommunications, water, and wastewater), nuclear power plants, oil and gas exploration and recovery, mining, airports, mass transit providers, hospitals, hospitality industries (hotels, theme parks, etc.), industries (chemical and pharmaceutical), and schools (primary through university) can use this cost-effective tool to continuously monitor their level of preparedness for a wide range of disasters.
