06 Surge Support
In the midst of every crisis, lies great opportunity. - Albert Einstein
When disasters strike, staffing shortfalls can quickly overwhelm even the most prepared jurisdictions. Whether you're facing a localized emergency or a large-scale statewide event, Perses Consulting provides immediate, qualified surge staffing to support your Emergency Operations Center (EOC), Incident Management Team (IMT), or field operations.
We specialize in deploying experienced emergency management professionals who integrate seamlessly into your operations to maintain continuity, coordinate response, and manage resources effectively—no matter the size or complexity of the incident.
Our team is equipped to support both short-notice activations and longer-term incident assignments for:
Local and regional emergencies (e.g., flooding, severe weather, wildfires)
Statewide or federally supported disaster declarations
Planned events requiring temporary EOC or IMT support
We can scale to your needs, offering personnel for:
Full EOC staffing (Command, Operations, Planning, Logistics, Finance/Admin)
Single IMT positions or full Type 3 teams
Resource tracking, documentation, situational analysis, and more
We work with state, county, municipal, and tribal jurisdictions, as well as healthcare coalitions, utility providers, and non-governmental organizations.
At the heart of our surge capability is our Response Cadre—a national network of seasoned emergency management professionals with real-world disaster experience. Every cadre member is:
Qualified through ICS/NIMS and HSEEP-compliant training
Experienced in local, state, and federal emergency operations
Mission-ready, with the ability to deploy quickly and adapt to dynamic environments
Our cadre includes subject matter experts in planning, logistics, EOC operations, public information, incident command, continuity, and recovery.
