Outreach

How we can help

The Whole Community approach reinforces the importance of establishing relationships between public sector stakeholders and community groups and members to ensure that disaster planning, response, and recovery operations reflect the needs of the broader community. This includes planning for the access and functional needs of people with disabilities, young children, older adults, low income, homeless, or transportation disadvantaged individuals, those with limited English proficiency, and more. CONSTANT has experience with disaster-related equitable and diverse stakeholder engagement, whether conducted to inform outcomes of a larger project and/or developed as its own initiative.

 

Our services can be used to improve community emergency preparedness, communicate a new tool or resource, and/or engage people (industry or community) for feedback and input on an initiative or program. We take a multi-pronged approach inclusive of traditional and new media, and reflective of the specific objectives identified by our clients. Our results-driven campaigns are rooted in an equity lens and are designed to create awareness and inspire resilience.

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.

Our Work

Award-Winning Outreach and Marketing

CONSTANT incorporates Whole Community outreach and engagement into each and every project that we develop. We provide demonstrated success with both marketing and stakeholder outreach for federal, state, and local organizations.

case study

CBRNE Industry Outreach

IMAAC, a DTRA and FEMA support center, provides models, such as plume modeling, for disasters involving CBRNE agents. In support of IMAAC, CONSTANT leads an extensive outreach and advertising program to raise awareness of the program. CONSTANT provides training on response modeling and information sharing to fire departments, law enforcement, emergency management agencies, public health departments, and critical infrastructure owners and operators in coordination with IMAAC. In this capacity, CONSTANT has facilitated critical partnerships that better position the U.S. to prevent, prepare for, respond to, mitigate against, and recover from new and emerging CBRNE threats.

case study

Technical Community Outreach

The California Department of Housing and Community Development (CDHCD) required creative solutions in engaging the community regarding CDBG-DR funds. CONSTANT supported this effort by creating multilingual fact sheets, executing public outreach strategies, planning and conducting public and online grant information meetings, and identifying and accommodating language and access needs for all community-facing documentation. We also developed a design and implementation strategy to manage proposed projects over the life of the grant.

case study

Community Preparedness Marketing

Engaging the community requires creating solutions. CONSTANT supported the Los Angeles Ready Your LA Neighborhood (RYLAN) program through marketing that included the refresh of existing marketing and training materials, translation services, and the development of an outreach toolkit. CONSTANT provided a redesigned version of the City’s fill-in readiness template by collaborating with stakeholders to determine stylistic preferences such as color scheme, use of logos, and sample materials that depict the desired look and feel of the template.
