The National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism (MIPT) is implementing the Ready-Net program to improve preparedness nationwide. Local, State, and Federal response professionals will be able to tap into front-line expertise on the most effective planning, training, equipping, and operational practices for responding to terrorism. An integrated team is designing and developing the system, which will be accessible through a secure, Web-based portal and provided free of charge to authorized users. The online portal will serve as a systematic means for producing and maintaining a consistent record of exercises and events community-wide, and an information center of gravity for collecting and analyzing lessons learned and identifying best practices. It will also be a clearinghouse for anti-terrorism and consequence management information, and a tool for stakeholders to communicate and share information effectively. Inclusiveness and peer validation are the elements that distinguish this system from previous attempts to catalogue this data. The key to a successful launch, and long-term success of this program is active stakeholder participation. The team has collected hundreds of relevant reports and analyzed more than 100 tabletop and functional exercise after-action reports provided by the Office for Domestic Preparedness within the Department of Homeland Security. The Ready-Net launch is slated for late summer/early fall 2003.
