A) COVID-19 Myths
What’s true and what’s not true.
When the lights go out, what fails first? Not communication, not transport—it’s the batteries—and they can quietly ruin an otherwise solid plan.
Why it Matters!
Preparedness systems depend on small but vital devices: thermometers, data loggers, radios, laptops, tablets, flashlights, and even digital signage. A dead battery at the wrong moment can disrupt documentation, delay triage, or cause data loss during vaccine transport.
The fix? A 5-minute battery audit!

A) A Premier Qualified Container & Packout
For vaccine, medicine, blood products, FFP and more.
Every emergency planner knows the feeling: grid down, generators strained, and refrigerators losing ground fast. That’s when the Cool Cube™ shines.
No power? No problem. Cool Cube™ PCM coolers maintain precise temperatures for days—without plugs, ice, or dry ice. The phase change materials (PCMs) inside are designed to stay steady at critical points (2-8°C or below -15°C or 15-25°C), preventing temperature swings that could ruin vaccines or medications.
Resilient by design:
- Tested and qualified to CDC standards
- Sizes for every payload
- Swap PCM panels to shift between fridge and frozen ranges

B) Practice Makes Confidence
Build Muscle Memory Before the Chaos Hits
Emergencies don’t wait for perfect conditions—that’s why teams that train as they respond perform better when real situations arise.
VeriCor’s Training Packages enable teams to gain hands-on experience in deploying MedKits, Triage & Treatment Systems, Alternate Care Sites, Mobile Emergency Rooms, and other VeriCor Systems before an actual emergency occurs.
You’ll get:
- Practice with the genuine gear to mimic a live-response setup
- Modular training components (setup, maintenance, recovery, etc.)
- Repetitive-use layouts that reinforce muscle memory and reduce setup hesitation
The closer your team trains to reality, the faster and smoother your future response becomes. It’s the difference between reacting and responding.
C) SmartBook™ Inventory Management
Your Supplies, Smarter
A prepared response isn’t just about having the right gear; it’s about knowing exactly where it is and when it needs replacing.
Enter in a SmartBook™, your visual command center for supplies. This intuitive inventory management system keeps your supplies structured, trackable, and easy to maintain.
- Instantly locate items by case, location, or function
- Look up essential data for improved readiness
- Eliminate the “where’s that thing?” scramble during deployment
- Keep handy for audits and inspections
A SmartBook™ takes your Response-Friendly™ system from reactive to ready—giving coordinators and nurses an easy, no-software way to maintain confidence in their stockpile.
