Training and Readiness

 

 

Our Approach

 

At Disaster Science LLC, we go beyond compliance to build the next generation of readiness. Our programs combine applied science, immersive learning, and data-driven evaluation to help organizations strengthen coordination, leadership, and resilience at every level of response.

 

Our team has delivered federally funded national training for the U.S. Department of Education, providing experience in designing and facilitating large-scale learning programs for diverse audiences across the country. This foundation informs our approach to developing cutting-edge, evidence-based training and exercise solutions that meet federal standards while tackling the evolving challenges of modern emergencies.

 

Training Services

 

We design and deliver custom preparedness and resilience training programs that equip teams with the knowledge and confidence to perform under pressure.

​

• Flexible Delivery: Virtual, in-person, and hybrid delivery options—including workshops, self-paced learning, and train-the-trainer models—ensure accessibility and engagement.

• ICS/NIMS Alignment: Courses aligned with federal frameworks strengthen interoperability, communication, and compliance.

• Integrated Preparedness Planning (IPP): Multi-year, adaptive training strategies that evolve with emerging risks and mission priorities.

• Specialized Topics: Programs tailored to organizational needs—ranging from emergency response and business continuity to crisis leadership and recovery operations.

• Leadership Development: Executive-level training that builds confident crisis leadership and informed decision-making at the highest levels.

 

Exercise Services

 

Our HSEEP-aligned exercises replicate real-world conditions to validate plans, assess capabilities, and enhance coordination. We combine predictive modeling, scenario design, and collaborative facilitation to deliver meaningful results.

​

• Scenario Design: Custom, data-driven exercises—from small workshops to full-scale, multi-agency simulations.

• Workshops: Facilitated sessions that refine plans, policies, and communication channels.

• Tabletop Exercises (TTX): Interactive discussions that test assumptions, clarify roles, and identify opportunities for improvement.

• Drills & Functional Exercises: Focused simulations that evaluate specific functions, such as logistics, communications, or resource management.

• Full-Scale Exercises (FSE): Comprehensive operations testing the interoperability and performance of large, multi-jurisdictional systems.

 

Evaluation & Continuous Improvement

 

We turn lessons into lasting capability. Our evaluation framework captures performance insights, identifies gaps, and drives measurable improvement across programs and operations.

​

• After-Action Reviews & Reports (AARs): Comprehensive analyses with actionable recommendations for growth.

• Improvement Planning: Structured corrective action planning to transform observations into sustained capability.

• Program & Capability Assessments: Benchmarking against national standards and best practices to identify strengths and opportunities.

• Risk & Readiness Assessments (THIRA): Science-based evaluations that align threats and hazards with organizational goals and funding priorities.
