SOS Crisis & Continuity Solutions




Human Impact, Crisis Communications, Reputational Risk, and Survivability
Most continuity plans don't address these vital areas and all-too-often fail in a real-world crisis
event. We're here to help you get ready...really ready...to survive through and recover from
whatever comes knocking. If your organization is truly committed to protecting your stakeholders,
community, and corporate family...you've come to the right place!!

The BOTTOM LINE: 9 out of 10 emergency response, crisis management, business continuity,
and disaster recovery plans won't actually work in a moderate to severe crisis event.
The "presence of a plan" in no way equates to the "viability of your program" in a real-world
disaster, especially in light of the exponential increase in the scope, type, and frequency of events
we face in our world today...
Our team delivers extensive international experience in the following areas:
- Holistic Organizational Survival Planning
- Crisis & Continuity Program Managed Services
- Real-time Onsite Crisis Support
- Emergency Medical Planning and EMS Coordination
- Human Impact Planning
- Crisis Psychology & Intervention
- Crisis Communications
- Emergency Response & Crisis Management
- Reputational Risk Planning & Response
- Crisis Security Protocols
- Crisis Team Training & Certification
Most importantly...we know what works, and we know what doesn't work when it comes to
building resiliency into your people, communications, operations, and culture...
ARE YOU READY? SOS VVA©
• Does your organization have a clear understanding of the “real-world viability”
of your
current crisis & continuity plans? In other words…what’s the chance that
what you’ve got in place
will actually work in a moderate to severe crisis or disaster event?
• Are the vital elements of proactive preparation, event response, & operational resiliency
integrated into a seamless and proven crisis solution?
• Is there a single point of control for coordinating and executing emergency response,
crisis management, business continuity, disaster recovery, crisis communications,
and human impact plans?
• Have potential brand damage & reputational risk issues been satisfactorily mitigated?
• What level of proactive preparation has actually gone into preparing your corporate family
to both survive through & recover from a severe crisis event?
• Have the special needs of your key Crisis / Continuity / Recovery team members
been identified & satisfactorily mitigated?
• Recognizing the inadequacy of traditional EAP support in a severe crisis event, are
Employee & Family Crisis Support Programs approved and in place today?
• Are your plans based on the often fatal assumption that “the people we need to recover operations
in a crisis event will be available to respond whenever we need them”?
• Are you counting on a “call tree” or an “automated notification system” for communications
in
a crisis event, or do you have a robust Crisis Communications Model (CCM) deployed?
• Have you put in place specialized preventive, detective, and reactive security controls
that activate in the event of a crisis or disaster?
• How are the assets of the organization protected in the midst of chaos?
