Emergency Operations Planning
A solid plan is often the difference between a smooth and successful incident and a response that's fraught with challenges. Whatever type of response plan you need, our consultants will work with you to develop a solution that meets your needs.
Emergency Operations Plans
Whether you're converting your current plan from functional annexes to emergency support functions (and vice versa), incorporating community lifelines and core capabilities into an existing document, or your plan simply needs an update, RSA can help. We can produce a plan that works for your communities to use local resources first, supported by accessible area assistance. Plan scope, format, and definitions are determined by the sponsoring agency, making your EOP a functional, useful tool that is customized and appropriate for your community.

Threat / Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
The best emergency management programs are based on an accurate and realistic assessment of the community's threats, hazards, risks, and vulnerabilities. Is your community at risk for terrorism? Will flood waters consume your business district under heavy rains? Is your infrastructure strong or will it crumble under stress? A thorough Threat/Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) will help with grant qualification, training for first responders, and financial management of preparedness activities.

Our consultants can work with you to develop a streamlined commodity study and hazardous materials response plan that addresses risks in your community, meets SERC requirements and other legal obligations, and links supporting activities during an incident to other important plans.
