CCI is the only faith-based crisis and security organization that offers a user-friendly, proprietary risk assessment tool designed specifically for the sending community. EZRA includes two primary tools: a Tactical Risk Assessment (TRA) and a Strategic Risk Forecast (SRF).

EZRA is provided at no charge to participants of CCI’s Crisis Management Seminar (CMS). If you wish to purchase EZRA separately from attending the CMS, you may do so using the below order form. For questions regarding EZRA, please contact us here.

*EZRA is a Microsoft Access-based tool. It is only compatible on Mac in conjunction with programs such as VMWare or Parallels. EZRA will work on any PC laptop with or without MS Access (a Runtime version of Access may be downloaded for non-Access installed machines).

"To request a purchase copy of EZRA or to inquire further, please email us at info@cricon.org."
