A CEMP is required for day-to-day disruptions and maintaining continuity of operations as well as for managing response to and recovery from large-scale emergencies. A sound program is needed to enable a community or a business to deal with any emergency. All Hands provides CEMP support based on a comprehensive collection of experts and services that address all program elements. Our approach to program development is based on current industry standards and best practices. Program details are recorded and framed into a jurisdiction’s comprehensive emergency management plan (CEMP).
