Inter-dependent factors will determine how well the BEECN system will function in the event of an activation. '''The''' '''Citywide BEECN Readiness Score''' '''is a ''risk assessment'' reflecting both how ready PBEM estimates independent parts of the system are and how ready those independent parts are to work together to get radio communications from the neighborhood level up to the Emergency Coordination Center (ECC).''' | Inter-dependent factors will determine how well the BEECN system will function in the event of an activation.

Metaphorically, it's a little like a credit score in the respect that it calculates and estimates a risk; it quantifies a liability. | ||
It is important to emphasize that the score is PBEM's best educated ''speculation'' on how ready the whole system is. It is possible that if the BEECN system stood up right now, it would function better or worse than reflected in the Readiness Score. PBEM is always looking for ways to fine tune projections and bring to light factors we did not consider before; therefore, please provide feedback on the score by emailing [mailto:BEECN@portlandoregon.gov BEECN@portlandoregon.gov] | It is important to emphasize that the score is PBEM's best educated ''speculation'' on how ready the whole system is.
