RKB Mission
To provide Emergency Responders,
purchasers, and planners with
a trusted, integrated, on-line source of
information on products, certifications,
standards, grants, and other equipment-related
information.

The Questions

• Whats out there?
• Has it been tested?
• To what standard?
• What training is needed?
• How do I pay for it?
• Whom can I talk to that has used it?

5
RKB Strategy

• Develop feeds from content suppliers
• Store representative content items in knowledge
  base
• Provide live links to source sites for details
