Is anyone (else) checking?
Accreditation Canada might….
But, of course, YOU are ready!
(aren’t you?)
How do you know?
Summary
• The HERO study shows we are more prepared
than eight years ago but still not ready
• Accreditation Canada’s new process looks at
gap analysis including for disasters
• The CEEP tools for readiness (and risk)
assessment are at your disposal at
