I just helped another county emergency management agency conduct a comprehensive program self-assessment with Complete EM in under an hour. They identified 110 program outcomes worth managing and said they will probably add 30 or 40 more over the next few days. That's about 150 important EM program outcomes needed to succeed as an emergency management program in a county of about 40,000 residents. That's a typical self-assessment outcome we see at Complete EM. The self assessment also indicated about 10% readiness. That, too, is a typical outcome we see with new subscribers. Now, in the near term, this county is on their way to doubling their program readiness over the next 6 months. Yes, that's not only possible, but a practical outcome to expect.
