Emergency Preparedness

Setting up successful emergency exercises and implementing continuous improvement programs for emergency operations are critical components of ensuring preparedness and resilience in the face of unforeseen crises.

Starting with review of a hazard vulnerability assessment, we’ll walk through the steps to provide an effective exercise and how to implement a feedback mechanism to continuously help improve planning efforts leading to more robust engagement and support.
  • Review recent Office of Inspector General findings on emergency preparedness plans.
