Emergency Management

Often when organizations try to develop emergency preparedness and response plans, they are neither risk-based nor linked to each other in a comprehensive emergency management system. At PMO, we are progressive and integrative with our approach to emergency management. Our Emergency Management Team audits existing strategies and past activities to develop a plan based on your needs and vulnerabilities. You are equipped with a system that incorporates all levels of risk, legal and regulatory requirements, and the expectations of your stakeholders. Based on Hazard Risk Vulnerability Assessment (HRVCA), we cover the full scope of Prevention, Mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery.
