Conducting a Proper Capability Assessment

Author: Chris Hiles, MS, BSN, RN, Emergency Manager, IEM

My fourth article on emergency management focuses on doing a proper capability assessment. I wanted to make sure that people were thinking in terms of the big picture and not just focusing in on planning, purchasing supplies, or training people. They need to be aware that all of these things, and many others, make the difference in a response.
