Preparedness & Response

Our facility offers over 15 miles of unimproved roads.

Our team's professional staff members have an incredible amount of "hands-on" experience in providing services that are specifically tailored to train and support emergency planners, first responders and decision makers in crisis management situations. These services include HSEEP Exercises including Table Top, Functional and Full Scale, HSEEP Certification Training, NIMS-ICS Training, Comprehensive Vulnerability, Security, Threat and Risk Assessments, Emergency Response Plans such as Comprehensive Emergency Management Plans (CEMP), Continuity of Government and Business Continuity Plans (COOP/COG/BCP), and Hazard Mitigation Plans.

Our staff has directly participated in the response to numerous real-world incidents involving natural and man-made disasters including acts of terrorism and have personally served at the Command and General Staff level on actual Incident Commands. Many have also served as key personnel on various Federal or State/Local Emergency Planning Committees throughout their careers, with some also serving as Senior Staff Members and Response Team Leaders for multiple Emergency Management, Public Health, Fire Rescue and Law Enforcement agencies at all levels.

We have developed, conducted and reported on numerous HSEEP Exercises involving Terrorism, Natural Disasters, (e.g., Earthquakes, Hurricanes, WMD, Bio Terror and Pandemic Influenza); and Special Events (e.g., Super Bowls, World Series, Presidential Inauguration, Olympics, G-8 International Summit); and have also provided Assessments, CEMP/COOP/COG/BCP Planning, and Incident Command Training for numerous clients worldwide.
