| We are the premier ePublication that reaches multiple disciplines, multi-jurisdiction professionals in the preparedness community.
Every Wednesday, we distribute via email the DPJ Weekly Brief to senior managers in first response, medical readiness (including public health) government (local, state & federal) plus industry.
The readers of the Weekly Brief are prompted to click on the title of an article and that sends them to DomesticPreparedness.com where they are required to register and login prior to viewing premium content.
At the end of each month, we reformat the information and allow our readers to download it in the form of the DomPrep Journal, Monthly PDF edition.
Then every quarter, we go on-press and print a hard copy edition that is used to support our media partnerships and various organizations.
