EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Before any project is undertaken the feasibility of that project should be evaluated.

Standing Stone provides a multi-dimensional analysis of the site location, requirements and the expectations of the people who will use the new facility. Our feasibility analysis will determine the circumstances in a community that can contribute to or detract from the safety, security and emergency response capabilities of a proposed project.

A safety, security and emergency response assessment uses a combination of quantitative techniques to evaluate the vulnerability of the facility's assets to certain threats and how those threats and vulnerabilities put the mission of the facility at risk. In an assessment:

Developing a strategy begins with setting the overall goals of the security and emergency response plan. Standing Stone helps our clients through the strategy development process. Strategies are usually based on the information developed in the assessments, i.e. what is to be protected, from what level, and nature of the threat. Working within the organiztion's context (how the facility is used) and the mission of the facility, Standing Stone helps identify and prioritize key assets and explains the vulnerability of those assets to the previously identified threats. We show our clients how to properly apply tactics to accomplish their security and emergency response goals and to prevent creating potential liabilities.

Effective policies and procedures directly influence preformance and behavior. Security and emergency policies and procedures must also support the mission of the organization and the facility. By understanding our client's mission, in addition to the risks they face, we can positively influence security and emergency management. Policies and procedures should not be so intrusive or complex that they cannot be followed in the normal function.

Emergency management is the process of preparing for, mitigating, responding to and recovering from an emergency. An emergency is anything that has a negative impact on an organization or facility. Can the client fulfill their responsibility to protect their people, their property, and their processes and reputation? Standing Stone aids our clients in evaluating their current emergency management capabilities. We identify the risks and recommend mitigating solutions. Our consultants guide the client through this planning process, provide and help conduct drills, so that they are prepared for and can recover from any emergency.
