Business Continuity and Emergency Management Services

The response to a critical moment in your company’s life can have a more lasting effect than the moment itself. Planning before a crisis arises is your best response. US Safety & Security, LLC, LLC, in conjunction with its public relations affiliate helps develop appropriate crisis and issue management plans designed to help your organization react effectively to a critical event. Our staff has created management plans and training for organizations as varied as multinational corporations and school districts that integrate with operational continuity, disaster recovery and emergency response plans. 

Services include:

Crisis Preparedness 

 It may be difficult to prepare for every possible crisis or threat, but we can assist your organization in assessing foreseeable risks and minimizing their potential impact through careful planning. Our staff can develop a comprehensive crisis management program, audit your existing programs and documents, lead discussions with the executive team to assess vulnerabilities that might initiate a crisis and perform research to discover the messages employees, stakeholders and other target audiences need to hear from your organization in a crisis. Our crisis team will also work closely with your legal counsel to ensure compliance and incorporate legal considerations into your crisis management program. 

Media Training 

Dealing with an impending or breaking crisis is by definition stressful. Our crisis team will help your organization eliminate or mitigate the impact of a crisis by preparing pertinent key messages, drafting and finalizing appropriate communications materials for target audiences and the media, briefing spokespeople, managing media requests and monitoring news about the crisis, as well as coordinating communications with government agencies and law enforcement as necessary. 

Through our PR affiliate we can create media training modules to fit your organization’s needs, from half-day sessions to multi-day programs that put your executive team and other employees in front of reporters and cameras for “real world” simulations. Our staff will present the training, arrange the scenarios and provide post-interview analysis to enhance your spokesperson’s performance in a crisis and other public speaking situations. 

Crisis Response Testing 

Our staff is expert at creating scenarios to test your organization’s skills in a crisis. Using crisis management programs developed by clients or our PR affiliate, our staff will create simulations that test plan elements and strategies for their relevance, your employees’ preparedness for executing the program and dealing with unanticipated situations. We also provide comprehensive evaluation of the exercise and suggest modifications to the program to meet your needs.

Online Crisis and Issues Management 

As some recent high-profile incidents have shown, events can spiral out of control online faster than an organization can respond to them effectively. We help organizations use the speed of today’s communication to their advantage in crises. We can develop monitoring and response systems that minimize - or prevent - damage to your organization by turning the online world into an opportunity rather than a dangerous world of rumors and innuendo. 

Contingency Planning 

US Safety & Security, LLC will review and develop contingency plans to ensure corporations are able to respond effectively to a crisis, thereby minimizing any potential loss or other adverse effect on the company or its employees. Contingency plans address hazards resulting from natural disasters, terrorism, political or civil unrest; identifying and training emergency and crisis management teams; designing and installing crisis management facilities; testing and rehearsing emergency plans; developing plans and procedures to protect key executive personnel and evacuation planning.

Evacuation Planning Services

Evacuation Planning Services are a “must” for corporations doing business in today’s dangerous and highly uncertain global environment. US Safety & Security, LLC, LLC provides solutions and training that are critical to protecting organizational assets in foreign countries. We also have the capabilities to provide onsite protection and evacuation services for personnel operating overseas in hostile environments.
