CRISIS PREPAREDNESS & RECOVERY CONSULTING

The Crisis Will End. The Aftermath Won't.

Everyone shows up for the crisis. We're here for what comes after—helping organizations prepare, recover, and remember.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

You've prepared for the crisis. But what about after?

Your emergency plans cover the first 72 hours. The procedures, the protocols, the immediate response. But then what?

Your emergency plans cover the immediate response—but what happens at Month 6, when formal support winds down and the longer-term strain sets in?

You’ve trained for the crisis itself—but not for the grief, the trauma, the meaning-making that follows.

You know you’re supposed to “build resilience”—but no one’s shown you what that actually looks like in practice. 

You’ve seen other organizations fail in the aftermath—and you’re determined not to be one of them.

If any of this resonates, you’re not behind—you’re ahead. Most organizations don’t think about the aftermath until they’re in it.

The Handoff Gap

Emergency responders move on. Long-term systems aren’t yet in place. Your organization is navigating the middle—often without a roadmap.

The Ripple Effect

Unaddressed trauma doesn’t disappear. It compounds. What appears to be “moving on” often masks deeper organizational strain. 

Our Specialty

We’ve guided 280+ communities through this exact moment. We know what works—because we’ve lived it and led it.

OUR FRAMEWORK

The Aftermath Equation

Recovery isn’t luck. It’s the result of factors you can assess, influence, and prepare for.

Sustained Resilience
Recovery and Remembrance are where support drops but needs remain high. That’s where we come in.
PHASE 01

Readiness

Before crisis hits. Assessments, training, capacity building—this is where we start. But we also prepare you for Month 6, not just Day 1.

PHASE 02

Response

The immediate aftermath. First 72 hours to first few weeks. This is where most support focuses.

Our Specialty
PHASE 03

Recovery

Month 1 to Year 3+. The long middle where most support disappears. Staff wellness, community healing, sustained leadership.

PHASE 04

Remembrance

The ongoing work. Memorials, annual remembrance, honoring what happened while moving forward.

How We Help

Practical Help for What Comes After

Not just training. Not just consulting. Support that stays when you need it most.

Readiness Audits

We assess your recovery readiness across staff wellness, leadership capacity, and organizational systems—then give you a practical roadmap.

YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH:

Recovery Navigation

Already in the aftermath? We help you navigate from crisis to recovery with sustained support, not one-time interventions.

YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH:

Remembrance Planning

The one-year mark is coming. How you handle it will define your community’s healing for years. We help you do it right. 

YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH:

Training & Workshops

Build internal capacity so you’re not dependent on outside help forever. Our training sticks because it comes from the field, not textbooks.

YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH:

Leadership Coaching

Crisis leadership is different from everyday leadership. We coach executives and directors through the unique demands of leading in the aftermath.

YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH:

Factor Assessment

We identify the risk factors, protective factors, and hidden factors others miss—the ones that determine whether recovery sticks.

YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH:
WHO WE SERVE

We've Been Where You Are

Different sectors, same challenge: preparing for the aftermath most never see coming. 

Schools & Districts

When crisis hits your school, parents aren’t asking for your policy manual. They want to know their kids are safe—and that you have a plan for after.

Nonprofits

You’re already stretched thin. A crisis can break an organization—or reveal its strength. We help you build the latter.

Corporations

Workplace violence. Natural disasters. Public crises. Your employees and stakeholders need more than an EAP hotline number.

Government

Constituents expect leadership. But where’s the playbook for Month 6? We help public leaders navigate recovery with confidence.

Healthcare Systems

Your staff responds to others’ worst days. Who’s responding to theirs? We build recovery capacity for the healers who need it most.

Emergency Management

You spend your career preparing others for crisis. Who’s preparing your organization for the aftermath—including your team’s wellbeing?
