Successful operations occur when organizations know their roles, understand how they fit into the overall plan, and are able to execute the plan
Planning makes it possible to manage the entire life cycle of a potential crisis. Strategic and operational planning establishes priorities, identifies expected levels of performance and capability requirements, provides the standard for assessing capabilities and helps stakeholders learn their roles. The planning elements identify what an organization’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) or Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs) should include for ensuring that contingencies are in place for delivering the capability during a large-scale disaster.
When “emergency management” required a different “plan” for each thing that may happen, or need to be done, we wrote those plans. We successfully implemented those plans ourselves. When “integrated emergency management” evolved to embrace the concepts of all hazards planning and incident command we lead the way, introducing concepts and strategies, which are now fundamental elements of professional emergency management, business resiliency, training and program maintenance.

Emergency Planning & Review
An efficient and successful recovery starts well before a disaster event takes place. The key components to coping with a disaster and recovering from its effects are:
An Effective Preparedness Plan
Early and timely warnings and advice
A sound response plan
A well-coordinated, progressive recovery plan
To help our clients accomplish this, our team is able to provide experienced, all-hazards planners to support the evaluation, creation and/or revision of all planning documents in support of your disaster response and recovery operations and to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and requirements.
Threat & Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment
Early Alert provides Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) using a 4 step common risk assessment process that helps you agency or business understand its risks and estimate capability requirements. The THIRA process benefits you by mapping you risks to the core capabilities, enabling you to determine desired outcomes, capability targets and resources required to achieve their Capability targets.
What do we need to prepare for?
What shareable resources are required in order to be prepared?
A well-coordinated, progressive recovery plan
The THIRA process helps communities answer the questions above. Outputs of this process inform a variety of emergency management efforts, including: emergency operations planning, mutual aid agreements, and hazard mitigation planning.
To empower you with the skills needed to respond effectively to any emergency or disaster
All Hazard Training (AHT), A Division of Early Alert, is a comprehensive program designed to prepare organizations to deal effectively with emergencies arising from natural and man-made hazards. The key to successful crisis management is a staff of well trained responders equipped with the proper tools to minimize adverse impacts during crisis situations.
The AHT staff works with clients to help identify their risk exposure and to customize a training program to prepare for emergencies, to operate effectively during crises, and to mitigate losses from disasters.

All Hazard Training services include development of complete customized programs, conduct and evaluation of exercises, and design of comprehensive emergency scenarios for dealing with all hazards or for a specific hazard, such as a hurricane or terrorist event.
We develop full-scale field exercises to ensure that each unit of an organization is familiar with its individual responsibilities and is prepared to function as a key element in coordination with other organizational components. Most of our courses and training programs include hands-on tabletop exercises to provide practical experience and to permit participants to acquire an acceptable level of competency to respond to emergencies.
