Emergency Management
Proactive Emergency Strategies & Reliable Response
When disaster strikes, your team needs to be ready. Our end-to-end emergency management services help your team respond to disasters with agility, direction, and confidence.
Whatever Emergency You’re Navigating, We’re Ready to Assist
We’ve seen it all, and we’re confident we can help you get over this hurdle. Our emergency management-certified team provides comprehensive emergency plans, hands-on training workshops, active disaster response, recovery strategies, and resilience solutions tailored for government, private-sector, and nonprofit organizations.
While some organizations require single-phase support, others need robust end-to-end program management. No matter your emergency management needs, our professionals can quickly identify gaps in your system and deliver the best solutions to help your team build confidence, maintain fluidity, and achieve positive outcomes when it matters most.
Our Emergency Management Services
From beginning to end, our team is here to support you.
- Comprehensive Emergency Management Plans (CEMP)
- This “foundational document” outlines the most critical elements of your organization’s emergency management plan.
- Continuity of Operations Plans (COOP)
- The purpose of a COOP is to ensure that critical functions and essential services can be maintained or rapidly restored in the event of an emergency or disruption.
- Threat Hazard Identification Risk Assessments (THIRA)
- This risk assessment will guide all critical and supplemental documents for vulnerability reduction, response, and recovery.
- Incident Management Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
- This detailed document provides step-by-step, position-specific instructions for an organization to respond to emergencies and planned events.
- Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) & Hazard Mitigation Plans
- These plans provide insight into the hazards and vulnerabilities that your unique location faces and advise on how to minimize impact and maximize safety.
- Incident Command System (ICS) & FEMA Certified Classes
- These workshops are designed to clarify the duties, responsibilities, and capabilities during any all-hazard incident.
- Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Training
- This training highlights the importance of team coordination, from the start of an incident to the aftermath of recovery.
- Tabletop & Operational Exercises
- From drills to full-scale exercises, we’ll identify gaps in your organization’s risk management plan and develop strategies to mitigate them.
- After-Action Reports
- These reports capture your team’s performance during training and advise on next steps to strengthen your team’s overall emergency management strategy.
- Incident Management Support
- When you need more hands on deck, we’re here to provide. We’ll deploy teams to your location to support your active emergency response protocols.
- EOC Augmentation
- If you need additional coordination and communication support, we’ll deploy teams to act as operational strategists and support your EOC roles.
- Disaster Operations
- For long-term disaster recovery, our team will fulfill roles to support restoration efforts. Our team can cover tactical, managerial, or communication roles and offer stateside logistics assistance.
- Recovery Planning
- Depending on the disaster, our recovery plans vary from financial recovery strategies, declarations and grants, and long-term shelter accommodations.
- Risk Assessment
- For ongoing hazard prevention, we can produce multiple, periodic risk assessments to analyze any new potential threats to your organization.
- Continuity Strategies
- Our continuity strategies ensure that the plans we put in place for you to begin with still serve your organization well and help you swiftly address future threats.
- Long-Term Resilience Planning
- If your organization faces recurring threats (e.g., hurricanes, wildfires), we can implement long-term plans that account for your natural landscape.
