In short, project EquipAmerica’s (powered by TractorFax ITIQ) NIMS STEP evaluation is proof that collaboration is the missing link/gap that challenges our community level self sufficiency dilemma.    

Phase I bridges the longstanding inability gap (collaboration among public - private entities) within all emergency and incident management and fulfills the missing piece to our citizenry dilemma  - collaboration among public and private entities....  eQuipAmerica allows all players to collaboratively inventory and share resources and people across jurisdictional boundaries and disciplines....  promoting self sufficiency at the local (community) level and in a continuum to state and regional levels.  A true break through for all... 

In addition, Phase II of project eQuipAmerica (powered by TractorFax ITIQ) will integrate and bring forth some 10 million heavy machinery units in supporting local and large scale disasters, segmented by county.  Again, beginning at the local level and in a continuum to state and regional levels.

For years now, my team and I have worked and worked to gain "some ones undivided attention" in fulfilling this long standing inability/weakness, but to no avail...  Per the Naitonal Response Framework, states have implemented and formed their Domestic Preparedness Groups, Capability Assessment Programs, etc...; for whatever reason such groups seemed to have a lack of....  for agressively seeking out and implementing this evaluated and deployment ready capability at any level...   

A NIMS STEP evaluated solution via collaboration beginning at the local level and in a continuum to state and regional levels; the ability to inventory and share resources and people across jurisdictional boundaries and disciplines in real time.
