Emergency Management

Our Expertise

Ready for the Worst-Case Scenario

Our emergency management services span HSEEP exercises, custom training programs, plan development, community outreach campaigns, and specialized staffing augmentation.  Catastrophic disasters and mass fatality incidents are our specialties, but our expertise also includes hazard mitigation, emergency operations, family reunification, mass care and sheltering, access and functional needs, climate adaptation, continuity, and more.

 

We provide solutions that mirror the ever-evolving landscape of emergency management, which includes utilizing an equity lens that reflects a Whole Community approach. At CONSTANT we think about the complex issues facing today’s emergency managers and develop sustainable programs for our clients, which span from federal agencies to local emergency management and public safety departments. 

Statewide Medical and Health Preparedness Program

A State as large as California has complex requirements for healthcare preparedness. CONSTANT was engaged to successfully execute a multi-year effort to support the State of California in managing its annual statewide medical and health disaster exercise. The effort spanned multiple trainings, website design, video production, technical assistance, and outreach. CONSTANT brought fresh ideas on managing the complex threat landscape of California, broadening connections with healthcare partners, and evolving resilience capabilities to meet the challenges ahead.

Medical Surge Readiness Program

Healthcare facilities must be ready to surge to meet the needs following a disaster. Working with two regional hospitals in Los Angeles, CONSTANT developed the “15 ‘til 50” Mass Casualty Incident Toolkit that outlines how to prepare for a surge of 50 patients with only 15 minutes' notice. This award-winning toolkit was designed for healthcare emergency managers. It included a PowerPoint deck, checklists, plan templates, videos, talking points, supply lists, and more. This program was recognized by the California Emergency Services Association (CESA) for its innovation and relevance in helping to prepare healthcare emergency managers for MCIs.

CBRNE Readiness for Healthcare​

CONSTANT is currently assessing local decontamination plans and jurisdictional CBRNE response capabilities for the Bay Area, California. This includes the design and conduct of a virtual workshop series to understand local government and partner agency operational capabilities, the development of a regional healthcare and hospital response Concept of Operations, and the creation of a purchasing plan to acquire identified necessary CBRNE equipment.

Disaster Response and Recovery Training

FEMA maintains the FEMA Qualification System (FQS), a set of metrics used to gauge people’s capabilities for disaster response and recovery. This critical system helps to ensure that people who are deployed for disaster response and recovery have the training needed for the job. CONSTANT is currently supporting FEMA with the completion of several FQS courses. We are developing learning and innovation models that take real-world learnings from the field and use them to empower people for future deployments – building resilience and capability for new and persistent challenges.

Mass Fatality Training Program

Mass fatality incidents present a myriad of complex issues that span technical processes, surge capability, and cultural considerations. It is often an overlooked, yet critical, component of emergency response. The State of California engaged CONSTANT to develop a world-class mass fatality training program. Our work involved the development of a series of mass fatality trainings informed by medical examiners and coroners from across the U.S., simulation of mass fatality incidents to provide hands-on learning opportunities, and coordination of course certification.

Hazard Mitigation Planning

Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plans (MJHMPs) seek to implement strategies that minimize the impact of disasters. It begins with governments identifying risks and vulnerabilities and creating long-term strategies for protecting people and property. Clark County, Nevada, home to Las Vegas, selected CONSTANT to support its MJHMP update. We engaged stakeholders from across the County, identified hazards and mitigation strategies, and performed community outreach to inform the MJHMP. Our work will result in a State and FEMA-approved MJHMP, helping the County and its cities/districts to be more resilient and maintain eligibility for disaster grants and reimbursement.
