Measure What Matters:
Your Actual Crisis Capability
The Event Readiness Index quantifies your organization’s ability to execute under pressure
—not just your documentation.
The Problem with Traditional Assessments
Most crisis readiness assessments measure the wrong things. They count plans, check policy boxes, and verify that documentation exists.
But having a plan and being able to execute that plan are two fundamentally different things.
The Event Readiness Index (ERI) is different. Developed from 26 years of real-world incident command experience, ERI measures the factors that actually determine crisis outcomes: leadership capability, team coordination, decision-making under stress, and operational execution.
How ERI Works
The ERI assessment evaluates organizational readiness across five critical dimensions:
1. Command Capability
Does your leadership team have the skills, training, and experience to command effectively during a crisis? We assess decision-making frameworks, communication protocols, and stress performance.
2. Operational Integration
Are your crisis plans integrated with actual operational procedures? We evaluate the gap between documented processes and how your organization actually functions.
3. Resource Readiness
Do you have the people, systems, and resources you’ll need—positioned where you’ll need them? We assess resource allocation, backup capabilities, and mobilization procedures.
4. Communication Resilience
Will your communication systems work when everything else is failing? We test notification protocols, redundancy measures, and information flow under degraded conditions.
5. Adaptive Capacity
Can your organization adjust when the crisis doesn’t follow the script? We evaluate flexibility, improvisation capability, and mechanisms for continuous learning.
Your ERI Score
Each dimension is scored on a 100-point scale, yielding an overall Event Readiness Index that reflects your organization’s true crisis capability.
90-100: Crisis Ready – Prepared to execute under pressure
70-89: Developing – Solid foundation with identified gaps
50-69: Emerging – Significant capability gaps requiring attention
Below 50: Vulnerable – Critical gaps that create material risk
