ANNANDALE, Va.-(Business Wire)-January 13, 2009 - Contextware, Inc., provider of software solutions that improve organization performance and productivity, today announced the release of an all web version of the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) Emergency Response Guide. Originally released by CDC in hard copy and PDF, Contextware converted the 65 page guide it into a step-by-step, easy to navigate web version available free to registered users.
In addition to the baseline guide, Contextware developed a highly enhanced version that includes access to over 120 additional resources such as training materials, planning templates, case studies and “how-to’s.” The enhanced version available for subscription, includes a process for conducting After-Action Reviews – a process in high demand for public health officials tasked with training and responding to emergencies.
“Preparedness for all-hazards emergencies has never been more important.” stated David Austin, President of Contextware. “We’ve built something of significant value for health officials and first responders by taking the CDC’s seminal Guide on the topic and making it massively more useful to end-users and doing it for free.”
Additional details appear below, and at Contextware’s website.
Improved Navigation:
Processes developed by CDC, including the acute phase response to a public health emergency are presented in step-by-step detail. Steps are linked to relevant templates provided by the CDC.
Enhanced Content:
