NEC will develop realistic exercises that deal with your hazard priorities.
Public Education
We will help you increase your emergency management awareness by providing new and innovative approaches to public education needs through tool kits, and personal/ family and vulnerable population support to emergency planning. NEC will develop organizational or community outreach to educate on emergency preparedness, response, and recovery strategies.
Business Continuity
Disruptions can impact any organization or business. NEC can work with your organization to develop a business continuity plan that identifies your critical services, vulnerabilities, and mitigation options.
After Action Reports
After Action Reports (AARs) are a crucial step in assessing and improving emergency response efforts following a large-scale event. The goal of an AAR is to identify what went well, what didn’t, and what can be improved upon for future responses. NEC will work with your organization to create your AAR documenting challenges, gaps, and areas for improvement, including communication breakdowns, resource shortages, and logistical issues.
CERT
What would you do if you found yourself or your community in the middle of a disaster or emergency situation? How would you respond? Would you be prepared to act? Would you know what to do? CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) training will help you answer these questions and will assist you in building a highly effective response team for your community. Training will include areas such as personal preparedness, self-care, public interaction, fire suppression, and food handling. Through this training CERT members will be prepared to help their communities before, during, and after an emergency or disaster.
