Proactive emergency planning for communities and infrastructure

When disaster strikes¡ªwhether it¡¯s wildfires, earthquakes, floods, or extreme weather¡ªcommunities and critical infrastructure must be ready. Our Emergency Management and Community Resilience team helps communities plan, prepare for, and respond effectively to a range of potential hazards. We work alongside your team to assess risks, identify needs and gaps, develop emergency response plans and roadmaps, and conduct training exercises to protect key assets and processes.

Each community is different. We help you tailor your emergency plans to the unique nature of your individual community, while drawing on nationally accepted best practices and meeting regulatory requirements. Whether you¡¯re working with vulnerable dams, energy infrastructure, or water supplies that need protecting¡ªour team delivers comprehensive strategies to maintain a state of readiness and build long-term, sustainable resilience.

Programmatic approach to emergency management

High functioning programs aren¡¯t designed by accident. They¡¯re the result of a focused effort placed on finding connections between observed gaps and needs. We help you understand the value of building an intentional, holistic emergency management program.

Whole community planning

Effective emergency management needs to reflect a complex ecosystem of partners. We understand how to integrate diverse concepts including whole community engagement, community lifelines, core capabilities, and incident management systems. We work to engage the right partners, with the right questions, at the right times, which helps us develop solutions that reflect operational realities, resource constraints, and the interests and priorities of our communities.

Building and sustaining capability

While there¡¯s nothing like a real-world incident to build capacity, the next best option is a simulated incident. Following our emergency management program assessments, we often recommend additional exercises. We can provide embedded staff to support ongoing training as well as design, develop, and conduct exercises and after-action reviews.

The innovation advantage

Stantec has developed a suite of advanced programs for modeling and data-driven simulations. These tools enable faster, more accurate emergency planning and response to hazards such as landslides, wildfires, and floods. Read More
