All-Hazard Emergency Preparedness Plans are more important than ever. Regardless if it is facing a pandemic, severe weather event, natural disaster, human-made disaster, criminal activity, or an active shooter incident, you need to have a plan.

The LARGO Consulting Services team works with businesses, K-12 schools, higher education, places of worship, healthcare, retail, facility managers, sports teams, and other organizations to develop comprehensive All-Hazard Emergency  Preparedness Plans and Business Continuity Plans.

A timely response to any incident, emergency, or disaster is critical in mitigating the loss of life, assets, and property. Knowing when to “take protective actions for life safety,” such as evacuating, sheltering in place, or going into lockdown, is crucial in protecting students, employees, visitors, and contractors.

LARGO customizes our All-Hazard Emergency Response Plans to meet the needs of each specific client. We adhere to the best practice of developing plans based on guidelines and standards from FEMA, DHS, OSHA, Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency, Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, National Fire Protection Association, BOMA, and ASIS International.

As part of LARGO’s VIZION20XX physical security assessment process, we review our clients existing security and safety programs, operational procedures, security force management policies, staff resources, and electronic systems. Our review and planning process allows our team to align available resources as part of the All-Hazard Emergency Response Plans.

Once the LARGO team completes the development of the All-Hazards Emergency Response Plan, we can work directly with your team in developing a Business Continuity Plan and client-specific training programs.
