Tim Fagin leads Ready or Not, a Santa Cruz emergency-response training business. We offer CPR, BLS and first-aid classes, along with realistic emergency simulations for medical and dental offices, schools and workplace teams.

We design and deliver high-fidelity, scenario-based emergency simulations for healthcare facilities, medical and dental offices, schools, corporate teams, and high-risk workplaces. Our training is immersive, realistic, and intentionally uncomfortable—because real emergencies are.

Founded by experienced emergency and healthcare professionals, Ready or Not was created to close a critical gap in traditional training: the difference between knowing what to do and being able to do it under pressure.

​

We go beyond lectures and certifications. With over 23 years of experience our simulations place teams inside realistic emergencies—medical crises, trauma events, system failures, and human-factor challenges—so they can practice communication, leadership, decision-making, and clinical response when seconds matter.
