Mark and James worked for the same agency that expected large-scale training exercises to be designed and managed at the drop of a hat, out of thin air! Sound familiar? Frustrated and unable to find solid templates that were "ready to use," they founded Continuum Preparedness to help emergency managers, training managers, public safety professionals, and business owners solve this problem. There are many great resources out there for what to put in your emergency response plan, but few to help you design and execute an emergency exercise. That's where we come in.
Emergency preparedness is not to be taken lightly and your industry has unique needs and challenges. That's why we have designed a number of unique solutions that are tailored to fit common needs of your industry. We've also made them available in customizable formats so that you can make them your own. One of our more popular products, our exercise templates, come ready with all of the materials you need to conduct a successful training exercise with realistic scenarios, stunning visual aids, resource materials, and more.
We can also design, manage, facilitate, and evaluate custom, one-of-a-kind exercises
and training events on-site at your location.
Who are these products for? In short, any organization can benefit from these products. Our plans and exercises can be designed and managed for schools, college campuses, office buildings, shopping malls, event venues, religious organizations, community centers, and others. We are happy to provide occasional consultation or complete preparedness solutions, and everything in between.
You will find that we are very easy to work with. We know you are busy and have a very demanding job (we've been there!). We truly enjoy this work and look forward to helping you get, and stay, prepared for anything.
