Business

The last twenty years have seen sweeping changes made in the business environment. Gone are the days of huge reserves and massive corporate structure – today’s economy runs on “made to order” and “just in time”. But just as a focus on lean strategies has revolutionized the way organizations do business, that same focus has made emergency preparedness essential for every company. This streamlining has reduced the capacity to absorb risk, either operationally, physically or financially.

Businesses today must be there for their customers and their suppliers. Responsiveness has become a fundamental part of every modern company – from the smallest start-ups all the way to the top of the Fortune 500. Being able to protect your company and to successfully manage emergencies is critical to maintaining your business relationships, your company’s reputation, and most importantly, your market share.

Patriot Services Corporation focuses on identifying and mitigating potential operational risks to the business functions. Our risk reduction strategies focus on protecting the revenue and improving the bottom line. Our consultants work with management to leverage existing strengths in COOP, BCP, and DR plans to date.

And highlight critical gaps in facility security plans and existing emergency response plans. Our experienced and dedicated consultants assist your business in developing complete and comprehensive response plans that respect the preparedness concerns of today’s businesses. And our certified trainers can help your management, employees, and even your communities understand how to prevent emergencies, and how to respond effectively should one occur.

It is this unique approach, along with our Comprehensive Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Services (CDEPS) solution model, that has made Patriot Services Corporation the partner of choice for businesses looking to implement best practice programs.

State & Local Government

Every emergency is local! Local and State governments are our first line of defense in an emergency or disaster. Agencies such as police, fire, public safety, hospitals, and health departments are the backbone of our communities’ first-responder capabilities. Americans rely on service providers such as schools, police and fire departments, public utilities, and transportation networks every day. The critical test for emergency preparedness at the local and state levels of government is the ability of those agencies and offices to continue to provide services through any emergency. The same offices and agencies responsible for these functions must be able to respond when these services are threatened.

Patriot Services Corporation has staff who have worked in local government, many for 20-30 years. Their experience in law enforcement and emergency planning ensures that solutions are grounded in real world experience versus ideas. Patriot Services understands the threats facing America’s state and local governments, and we know how to help you get prepared. Our in-depth assessments can address deficiencies and gaps in existing emergency response plans.

Chemical

Today’s society relies on chemicals and chemical manufacturing more than ever. The products of this industry are everywhere, in virtually every product and service across the globe. But the chemical industry and the storage facility industries are at a greater risk now more than ever – disasters, emergencies, terrorist attacks, and even simple human error can turn even the safest worksite into a potentially serious event.

Preparedness is the key to maintaining business operations and keeping your operations safe for your employees, your customers, and your communities. Having emergency response plans that account for every vulnerability to your enterprise, and carefully training employees and community members to help prevent emergencies is just as important to your business as your overall revenues.

Patriot Services Corporation has Chemical Warfare and Chemical Weapons Specialists on staff. Unlike most consultants, many on our staff have worked around live chemical agents in a defensive environment. Protective strategies, risk reduction, and chemical avoidance strategies are based upon an in depth understanding of the results of an attack either on or in this sector.

Our staff understands the threats facing chemical facilities, and we know how to help you get prepared. Our in-depth vulnerability assessments can highlight deficiencies and potential gaps in existing emergency response plans. Our experienced and dedicated consultants develop complete and comprehensive response plans that respect the individual concerns of the chemical industry.

Federal

In times of uncertain security, every federal government agency must prepare for emergencies that could interrupt their ability to continue providing the public with vital services. Events ranging from natural disasters to acts of terrorism-both foreign and domestic, to outbreaks of violence or disease can bind your agency’s ability to function. Citizens of the United States continually rely on federal agencies to act as our line of defense – it is absolutely imperative that all federal agencies are prepared to respond successfully in the face of any emergency situation.

Total preparedness means planning not only for the functionality and availability of once services, but for the functionality and availability of the entire agency. Every agency must plan for the safety of its employees, constituents, and service providers. Continuing communications both inter- and intra-agency and developing emergency command policies are essential elements to preparedness

Testing the plan via real time or simulated exercises is the only sure way to validate any plan.

Having worked at or with Federal Agencies in real world mission planning, Patriot Services understands the threats facing federal agencies, and we know how to help you get prepared. Our in-depth vulnerability assessments can highlight weaknesses and gaps in existing emergency response plans. Our experienced and dedicated consultants develop complete and comprehensive response plans that respect today’s federal preparedness concerns.

Health Care

Today’s healthcare industry faces unprecedented demands unheard of even five years ago. Patients require, and demand, new procedures with zero defects. Information and patient data must be available 24/7 in case of emergency, but must be kept secure at all times. New government regulations insist on service and facility upgrades. And all these demands must be met with minimal increases in cost and with maximized delivery and accuracy. As if these demands weren’t enough, healthcare providers must contend with a host of potential threats – from natural disasters and equipment failures to outbreaks of diseases and increased criminal acts of violence. Being unprepared for these events could cost a provider its certification, bring about expensive lawsuits, and potentially cost the provider its reputation and its business.

Hospital Readiness - "Maximize Preparedness and Minimize Risk!"

Education

For every school and every university, preparation is imperative. Outbursts of violence, emergency crises, and even natural disasters can occur in any district and on any campus. Tragedies as close to home as Columbine, Colorado and New Orleans and as far away as Beslan, Russia continue to provide evidence of the need for emergency preparedness in today’s school systems.

Threats to our schools are not only internal. An increasing amount of evidence demonstrates that schools have become “soft” targets for terrorist attacks. This threat is not unrecognized – one recent survey reported that 90% of schools understand they could be terrorist targets – but as yet this threat is something most districts and campuses are unprepared for.

According to the 2003 National Association of School Resource Officers Survey, more than half of our schools are not adequately prepared to respond to an emergency. Many administrators report that their school’s emergency response plans do not measure up to the demands of a post-9/11 and post-Columbine world. Worse, some schools simply don’t have plans at all.

Patriot Services understands the threats facing schools and universities, and we know how to help schools get prepared. Our in-depth vulnerability assessments can highlight weaknesses in facility procedures as well as in existing emergency response plans. Our experienced and dedicated consultants develop complete and comprehensive response plans that respect today’s preparedness concerns.

Universities

Creating resilient universities is a goal of Patriot Services Corporation.
In this light, PSC hopes to protect millions of people across the country: creating disaster resistant colleges and universities.

University leadership must understand it is represented in Critical Infrastructure, it is a population center and typically contains billions of dollars of infrastructure. Usually the University is critical infrastructure to a regional economy. The reputation of an institution of higher education can be lost with one breakdown in safety and security.

Patriot Services Corporation works with the leadership of the university as well as the local first responder and emergency responder community via joint training and exercises, facilitating discussions on the Unified Incident Command System, developing viable emergency plans, and preparedness and mitigation programs which may include hardening facilities to withstand the effects of disaster.

Many schools are located in disaster prone areas. Should a disaster strike a university, Patriot Services Corporation works as a liaison between the university and local, state and federal governments to help the institution through the response and recovery and helps develop a mitigation plan to ensure that facilities are built back safer.
