Preparedness and Supporting First Responders |
One of the most effective ways in these times to protect what matters is to ensure that measures are in place that increase preparedness for when events occur. The second measure is making certain that those who respond first to emergency situations are properly outfitted and trained. GSA can provide all agencies a range of support products and services when time is a critical factor in your success.
- What is Preparedness? Preparedness is having capabilities in place to deal with unplanned or emergency situations. A large part of assuring preparedness revolves around transportation security. Other components that play into preparedness can include emergency power and critical systems.
- What is a First Responder? First Responders are often local police, firefighters, and/or other emergency medical professionals. Staff must be contacted and mobilized immediately. Furniture, communications, and data must be quickly assigned and networked. These are professions that require high amounts of training and sophisticated equipment to successfully perform the tremendous duties with which they are charged.
