Recovery Annex Development (EOP)
The county’s emergency operations plan should include a section on community recovery, or there should be a separate recovery plan. This choice is made by the county, based upon what is most effective locally. The recovery plan should include who will provide and coordinate recovery services like Family Assistance Centers, Small Business Administration loan opportunities, financial offerings of local lending institutions, insurance adjusting and settlement of claims, and healthcare and mental health services. RSA consultants can help customers discover and document the process that works for them, takes advantage of local, state and federal relief and recovery programs, and helps the community get back on their feet quickly and effectively.

Private Sector Collaboration Annex Development (EOP)
The private sector provides a critical resource in the recovery of a community. Because small business can be nimble and responsive, goods and services can be provided quickly and competently. Relief services associated with community lifelines can be provided by the private sector in most communities, but having a plan of who to ask, what they are prepared to offer, and how to make collaborative arrangements is best planned before the disaster. Consultants can help customers flush out county resources and plan for an effective and rapidly deployed private sector collaborative effort to get the community up and running.

Continuity of Operations Plans
One in four businesses are likely to permanently close in the aftermath of a disaster. These closures might be immediate or occur in the months or years after the event as businesses struggle with the long-term impact of the event. RSA wants to help businesses change this devastating statistic. A continuity of operations plan (COOP) identifies how an organization can maintain essential services and continue to conduct business if impacted by the effects of a disaster. RSA can help you prepare for the worst by developing a plan to meet your unique needs.

Continuity of Government Plans
Continuity of government plans (COG) define how government organizations will continue to function in the aftermath of an incident that impacts normal operations. From the establishing order of succession for key officials to identifying essential services, a COG plan is critical for government organizations at every level, from local municipalities to the federal. Our consultants can work with your organization to develop a plan that is relevant and realistic for your organization.

After-Action Report Development
After-Action Reporting by an unbiased third party can produce evaluations and feedback that is clear, concise and actionable. Whether a process needs improvement or a response team deserves nothing less than acclamation, RSA consultants can help you compare actions to plans, results to needs, and training to task assignments. Areas for improvement can be identified and problems can be isolated for correction and improvement.
Improvement Action Planning can help your teams implement best practices to help communities respond in the best manner possible, and to facilitate the most rapid recovery that can be accomplished. Many times, the problem is NOT people, it is a faulty or outdated process. Once the process is fixed and replaced with a more effective one, the operations run smoothly and quickly, helping faster and more effectively. An improvement implementation plan can short-cut years of floundering, and deliver cutting edge updated processes in a simple and effective way.
