Disaster Management
Disaster Preparedness and Response
We provide technical support to businesses in preparing for and mitigating the impacts of disasters and hazards of all kinds and magnitudes. We work with your staff to create tailor made plans for continuity of operations and contingency management. We have specific expertise in pandemic preparedness and response and in creating and facilitating infection prevention and control programs for both healthcare facilities and non-healthcare businesses.
Continuity of Operations​
In the aftermath of sudden disasters such as flooding, wildfires or earthquakes, and during prolonged events such as pandemics, it is important that your organization is able to continue to meet your clients' needs and fulfil your mission. Our consultants will work with you before, but also during and after disaster events. We will review any existing plans and support you in crafting realistic and workable plans that will allow you to maintain operations during and following disaster events. Because every organization is different, we take your unique circumstances and needs into account in developing plans for you.
Infection Prevention and Control Programs
Our consultants have expertise in the successful development and management of infection control progams. Using the best available evidence from local, national and international public health agencies, we provide evidence-based infection control protocols and guidelines. Working with your staff, we are able to take the unique aspects of your organization into account and develop a custom-made program for you that is both evidence based, and relevant to your particular situation. This ensures that the program is one that your staff and clients are able to understand and comply with, factors that are crucial to the success of the program. Also built into all of our programs is a monitoring component that allows our team to work with you to continuously evaluate the effectiveness of the program, and to strenghten and adapt the program as your organization and/or infectious threats evolve.
Vulnerable Populations​
We have special expertise in reaching and working with vulnerable populations during preparedness, response and recovery to disasters. Whether it is working with immigrants and those with limited english proficiency to build climate change resilience, or it is working with persons with substance use disorder to ensure continuous access to treatment during disasters, we will partner with you to make sure that the needs of your clients are met.
Our goal is operational excellence maintained by a process of continuous improvement. We believe what is worth doing is worth doing well. We provide Quality Assurance (QA) expertise to equip your organization for continuous assessment and for improving compliance to ensure predefined standards are met. With QA we establish the foundation for robust Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI). We will use your data to inform a decision-making process. This will fuel a continuous process of review, critique and implement change to achieve quality improvement in policy, infrastructure and programs.
