The first element in formulating mitigation strategies is the protection of personnel, facilities, equipment, systems, data and other assets from damage or destruction. These strategies are based upon the results of the risk assessment, which examines the probability of the occurrence of either natural or man-made disasters. In some cases it may be more feasible to relocate personnel and/or equipment rather than protecting them from a predictable event, such as a hurricane; so protection and relocation strategy pieces of the planning process are performed simultaneously.

There are many factors that influence these decisions dependent upon the client's size, nature and locality. Larger businesses with multiple locations may focus on preventative relocation, while a smaller business may focus more on protective measures. For schools we optimize protective measures for the safety of students while ensuring that safe and efficient relocation procedures are developed and tested.

Regardless of the nature of your business or the size or location of your facility, SPP consultants work closely with your team to develop solutions to maximize preparedness and minimize impact.
