Emergency Preparedness And First Responder Equipment And Services

Emergency Preparedness & First Responder Expert Assistance

SPI experts can assist jurisdictions and agencies in determining what capabilities are needed to prepare for and respond to large-scale disasters, where those capabilities are available, and who is responsible for assigned tasks. Our multifunctional staffs include the appropriate subject matter experts with the critical skills and expertise at cost effective rates. These services include programming; budgeting and strategic planning; development of strategic business solutions; activity-based costing and management, organizational assessments design and structuring, new equipment integration; and training, evaluations, and assessments. They are designed to engage a wide range of stakeholders, including local, state, and federal security personnel; emergency management; and public health professionals; and representatives from nongovernmental organizations.

Simulation, Exercise and Training

In collaboration with an agency’s stakeholders, SPI provides the expertise to develop and execute a full-scale simulation of a security attack on national infrastructures and validate the readiness of public and private sectors. In addition, our profession staff will work with key stakeholders within the federal response infrastructure to realistically exercise a coordinated response to a major threat or disaster. SPI services may include training and education; a formal gap analysis at federal, state, and local levels; wargaming; support of modeling and operation simulation centers; agency staff training; force development management of exercise plans; exercise control during exercise conduct; and after action reporting and improvement plan development support.

Emergency Preparedness Professional Services

The SPI professional staff is trained to provide assistance using an approach consistent with the Department of Defense’s Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES) and the newly developed National Planning Execution System (NPES). SPI’s support includes the use of subject matter experts from a variety of specialty areas, including public affairs, logistics, operations and management, law and law enforcement, legislative affairs, consequence management, and interagency coordination, as well as subject matter expertise for the National Incident Management System/National Response Plan and facilitation of outreach and coordination activities.
