Our Expertise: Compliance & Specialization

We specialize in the full lifecycle of emergency management, with a rare, integrated focus on public health, medical operations, and technical compliance. We deliver expert planning, training, and exercises for government, healthcare, and security partners. Our work is **guaranteed compliant** with ASPR, CDC PHEP, and HSEEP frameworks.

  • HSEEP Exercise DDC&E (Design, Development, Conduct, & Evaluation)

    We are FEMA-certified Master Exercise Practitioners (MEP) who specialize in the full Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) cycle. Our focus is delivering federally-compliant full-scale exercises (FSEs) and tabletop exercises (TTXs) that accurately measure capability gaps and provide actionable improvement plans.

    • Grant Assurance: All exercises meet criteria for ASPR HPP and CDC PHEP.

    • Complex Multi-Agency Scenarios (e.g., medical surge, mass sheltering, bioterrorism).

    • Comprehensive After-Action Reports (AAR) and measurable Improvement Plans (IP).

    • Expert facilitation to ensure objectives are met and evaluation data is robust.

  • Public Health, Mass Care, & Medical Surge

    Unlike generalist firms, our core team includes Public Health Professionals and Medical Clinicians. This allows us to build integrated planning and training that addresses complex human needs during disasters.

    • Access & Functional Needs (AFN): Dedicated expertise in designing accommodations for AFN populations.

    • Behavioral Health Integration: Planning and exercise design for providing psychological first aid and managing crisis behaviors in mass care settings.

    • Medical Countermeasure (MCM) Dispensing: Exercise design for Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) and Point of Dispensing (POD) operations.

    • Mass Shelter Operations: Full life-cycle planning, from site activation to demobilization and mandatory reporting protocols.

  • Specialized Training & Scenario Workshops

    We develop targeted, hands-on curricula that directly support exercise objectives. Our workshops are scenario-based, ensuring participants gain practical knowledge before being tested in a full-scale environment (like our two-part approach for Sacramento County OES).

    • ICS/NIMS Application: Training focused on practical application, not just theory.

    • Operational Drills: Hands-on practice with equipment, patient movement, and resource tracking.

    • Shelter Operations Focus: Key areas include intake, mandatory reporting, and family/animal reunification.

    • Curriculum Design: Built by certified instructors using adult learning principles for maximum retention.

  • Technical Planning, EOPs, and CBRNE

    We develop foundational emergency plans (EOPs) and specialized annexes that are technically sound and fully integrated with regional plans. Our expertise extends to high-consequence, low-frequency threats.

    • CBRNE Specialization: Expertise in chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive incident planning and exercise design.

    • Gap and Vulnerability Analysis: Thorough reviews of existing plans to identify compliance failures or operational weaknesses.

    • Continuity of Operations (COOP): Planning for the resilience of essential agency functions under duress.

    • Threat & Risk Assessment: Data-driven assessment to prioritize risks and inform planning efforts.

We help with all this, and much more…
