ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 31 (UPI) -- An online tool for continuous measuring and monitoring Emergency Preparedness is being debuted by Virginia's Avineon, Inc.

The company said its system computes an overall readiness index for the organization and also a readiness index by emergency type.

"It is our pleasure to launch the new Avineonics Readiness Index during the Department of Homeland Security's National Preparedness Month," said Karlu Rambhala, president and chief executive officer of Avineon. "With Americans facing constant threats, both natural and malicious, to their systems and infrastructure, emergency preparedness and business continuity are more important now than ever before.

"This online tool offers a sensible and practical alternative for organizations to measure and monitor their readiness, equipping them to proactively make the adjustments necessary to drive preparedness to their desired state."

Avineon said it will host four webinars next month to demonstrate the online tool's capabilities for taking an all-hazards approach to include emergencies such as cyberattacks, earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, oil spills, pandemics, storms and acts of terrorism.
