Mission Statement:
Our mission is to provide professional compliance, innovated training, and functional exercise solutions, through the use of interactive multimedia technologies, customized programming and personal dedication."

Interactive Programs:
Our interactive multimedia programs are customized to focus on your particular local objectives and needs. These real time simulations have proven to be effective in assisting communities and corporations to meet their emergency management responsibilities and annual exercise requirements. Our unique approach to prevention, planning, and interactive multimedia tabletop/functional exercises has set the standard throughout industry and public emergency response organizations since 1997.

Our creative design, programming and facilitation will meet and exceed your highest expectations. All CAI programs undergo continuous improvement and are never "canned". Each program is customized to our client’s specifications. However, CAI’s unique design and modular programming allows us to build and expand your programs on a continual basis, increasing program complexities, levels of training and control program cost.

We have the ability to design programs to meet any level of expertise needed by our clients, from new employees to seasoned veterans, or design programs allowing various levels of knowledge and experience to work together. All CAI programs utilize Incident Command System (ICS) and National Incident Management System (NIMS) protocols and theories.

We are able to design tabletop and/or functional exercise programs for virtually any type of exercise for both public and private organizations including, but not limited to, rail, highway, air, and marine transportation; city, county, state and/or federal agency; involving hazardous materials, domestic law enforcement, Weapons of Mass Destruction, fire and rescue, bio-terrorism and any combination of emergency management event or situation.

“If you can provide the objectives, CAI can design the solution.
