As a result of the 9/11/01 attacks, Counter-terrorism
has become this nation's most significant concern and
challenge. We now fully recognize that the U.S. infrastructure,
both public and private, is increasingly vulnerable to
the immediate threat of terrorism. People, corporate facilities
and the supporting infrastructures all are at risk. The
increased potential for the use of weapons of mass destruction,
chemical, biological and nuclear, by terrorists has added
yet another dimension to the nature of the threat.
The quality of a corporations response to this challenge
may well determine how many people live or die. The
protection and response burden extends beyond the traditional
"first responders" to include much broader
elements of both the private and public sectors. The
Preparedness and Consequence Planning Assessment program
for corporations and businesses is designed to provide
leadership with an assessment of the current state of
preparedness for the company and an evaluation of the
response components. The process examines risks, threats
and preparedness in a broad "complete preparedness
and response package", which crosses corporate,
departmental and organizational boundaries. In this
way duplication and conflicts are avoided and scarce
local resources can be allocated to where they are needed
most.
At the completion of the process, the corporate leadership
will receive a comprehensive report qualifying potential
threats, identifying existing risks, and categorizing
levels of preparedness. NPSS assessment teams consist
of professionals from diverse backgrounds in counter-terrorism,
social services, bio-chem technology and public safety.
Combined with our professionals who have extensive experience
in working with corporations, NPSS is uniquely positioned
to support the business community with these timely
and needed assessments.
The assessments are priced in accordance with the scope
and scale of the business entity and based upon the
amount of time and number of experts dedicated to the
successful completion of the tasks.
