The Tidal Basin team provides expert preparedness services through custom-tailored capability and program assessments, deliberate and crisis action planning, training, exercises, and after-action reporting. Staff Augmentation We know that governments face complex operational requirements following the impacts of large-scale disasters. Response and recovery efforts place a tremendous amount of pressure upon governmental emergency management agencies and their partners to support the rapidly expanding and ever-changing arena of federal and local response and recovery demands.

We can provide staff to support operations in your Emergency Operations Center (EOC) as well as for a wide range of recovery programs.
