Disaster & Emergency Management Services

Keeping your community safe is a big job. As disasters increase in frequency, governments are feeling the pressure to have a rock-solid plan in place, but may not have all the knowledge on their team. When time and resources are scarce, let us help improve response, preparedness, mitigation, and recovery.

Keeping your community safe is a big job

Communities face a unique set of challenges when it comes to disaster recovery: not enough resources, lacking internal capacity and funding.

By working together, RIC can take the burden of planning and expertise off of your plate so you can continue to focus on what matters most: your community. Some governments know they need to prepare, but aren’t sure what or where to start—making what happens next an even bigger hurdle.

RIC is able to look at the bigger picture of disaster and emergency management for your community so there are no gaps left unfilled.

Community preparedness is community resilience.

A ready community is a resilient community. Having an emergency response plan in place means planning for the safety and well-being of your people. A well-strategized emergency plan takes your community’s needs into account to mitigate surprises and ensure the health, safety and well-being of all members of your society—keeping families together and protecting the most vulnerable members of your community.

“Working with RIC keeps us from getting burnt out because they take on a lot of the emergency management tasks we need support with. Rebecca and her team prioritized asking questions and getting feedback from our community that helped us improve everything in our emergency management strategy. She brings a new perspective, and she can keep us on track and focused on our goals.”
