Our team has worked closely with emergency management and homeland security professionals throughout the nation to enhance preparedness and resiliency. We have been supporting emergency management/homeland security projects for decades, specifically in the areas of planning, training, exercises, and after-action reviews. From developing policy doctrine to standard operating procedures, our team members have supported planning projects at the federal, state and local levels.

Perses Consulting grounds its planning efforts in best-practices and proven methodologies. We follow the FEMA Six Step Planning Process, the Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101 (CPG 101) Planning Process, the National Incident Management System and the National Response Framework (NRF) as a baseline for all planning projects.

We approach the development of planning documents by focusing on the process, rather than on the end result; the actual plan itself should exist as documentation of a comprehensive process that ingrains a high-performing, intuitive, and sustainable emergency management program for Amtrak. The vast majority of consulting firms focus on delivering an extravagant document that checks the necessary boxes and includes all of the pertinent information based on typical emergency planning guidance, while our team understands that the actual plan is not as important as the effort, team building, and culture change that went into its development.

Our team is incredibly adept at following the framework of federal guidance, state and local requirements, Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP) standards, and other best-practices and lesson-learned resources. However, what differentiates our team from others is our true understanding of how to build a comprehensive emergency management planning structure that builds muscle memory into complex emergency operations, incorporates abstract concepts into realistic capabilities, and builds a sustainable whole community approach with educated responders and empowered, resilient community members and stakeholders.

Through our extensive planning experience, Perses Consulting has adopted five planning principles that we incorporate into all planning efforts.
