DMS understands the importance of implementing policies,
procedures, and plans prior to an
event. We will develop relationships with all key personnel
throughout the planning phases
so that we understand your community's needs and the issues that
are important to your local
officials as well as your citizens. Our staff understands that
you need assistance from
experts in this field however, we also understands the
importance of your involvement. We
pride ourselves on "LISTENING" to your needs and strategically
planning to make certain
those need are met.
When your community is threatened or impacted by a disaster, our
staff will be your partner
in preparing for the safety of your citizens prior to the event
and after disaster has
stricken. We will be there for you the next day - or often the
same day. When an
anticipated disaster such as a hurricane threatens our team can
be there with you before the
disaster, helping you with critical planning and response
functions. During the first 72 hours after a disaster, DMS
will provide experienced personnel for post-disaster planning
and project tracking and documentation. This quick response
allows local government officials to focus on critical
life-supporting and life-sustaining functions. DMS will provide
a disaster recovery plan tailored to your needs and support you
with project management and funding assistance so you can focus
on meeting the needs of your community.
All disasters begin and end on the local level. Local
authorities know better than anyone
what the needs of their communities are and the response that is
most needed. Local
leadership and control are particularly important in the face of
wide-spread disaster.
DMS understands this and coordinates relationships with federal
programs and private
contractors to keep local officials in the role of key decision
makers. In essence, we will
help you cut through the red tape to achieve your goals and
priorities.
