Before any project is undertaken the feasibility of that project should be evaluated.
Standing Stone provides a multi-dimensional
ananlysis of the site location, and the people who will be using the new facility.
Can the planned environment and the surrounding community safely support the envisioned purpose of
the new facility? Are the resourses of the community sufficient to make this project a safe and
secure place that is able to respond to anticipated emergencies?
Our feasibility analysis will determine the circumstances in which a community can contribute
to or detract from the safety, security, and emergency response capability of a proposed project.
Normally a feasibility study considers such threats as fire, flood, and some natural disasters.
Standing Stone expands this to
include a comprehensive threat and vulnerability analysis, which then becomes the basis of a risk
assessment for the planned facility.
A threat is any incident with the potential to cause harm to an organization's people, property
operations,
information, and / or reputation. Our consultants will define the level of threat (either intenional,
accidental, or natural) that an organization or facility faces by analyzing what might cause a
loss and how those circumstances could occur. Vulnerabilities are those circumstances that leave a
facility or organization open to attack or damage by a perpetrator, a natural, or an accidental
event. Standing Stone will
provide an in depth analysis of how specific vulnerabilities may invite or permit a threat to
occur.
A risk anaylsis is the examination, based on the threat and vulnerability anaylsis, of the consequences
to an organization or facility of any occurance that may interfere with their mission. A risk
anaylsis is the basis of a sound decision concerning the feasibility of the project.
A Standing Stone feasibility
study answers the question, "If this facility is built here, will it be safe and able to respond
to the consequenses of the risks it may face?"
