Alertus’ Emergency Management experts help clients enhance or further develop their Emergency Management Programs, providing guidance on concept awareness, process development, and procedure development.
Scenario and Message Template Development
In preparing for emergencies, organizations should develop a list of “what if” scenarios that may threaten lives, an organization’s infrastructure, or daily operations. Alertus experts guide you in scenario building to understand the vast landscape of potential threats and hazards to your organization, and develop custom notification message templates for your specific environment.

Site Survey
Site surveys are ideal for those organizations just beginning the process of identifying emergency notification system requirements, increasing their system’s maturity, or modernizing capabilities to leverage emerging notification modalities. Alertus’ site surveys are customized specifically to each client’s needs.
Emergency Plan Review and Assessment
Emergency planning is a key component of your preparedness effort to manage your vulnerabilities to hazards and threats. The planning process results in executable strategic, operational, and/or community-based strategies to meet an organization’s objectives.
