Emergency Management


Emergency Managers face challenges of increasing complexity.  Communities, economies and institutions are now so interdependent that an event in one jurisdiction has immediate and critical second and third order effects in others.  Network-centric challenges require network-centric solutions.  Simple connectivity is not the same.

Since 9/11, the C4I lessons learned in specific sectors of the Special Operations community have far outpaced defense doctrine.  Even throughout DoD, where the complexity of the C4I paradigm has progressed dramatically, the implementation of effects based planning and network-centric operations is a daunting challenge that requires a fundamental shift in thinking—not so in RDR’s domain.  Simply stated, no other corporate entity has been as intimately associated with the rapid developments in C4I or is so well postured to apply that paradigm in the Emergency Management community.

RDR will adapt your state’s existing all hazard emergency management plan and operating procedures to give you and your leadership unprecedented situational awareness and decision support.  Application of the lessons of the most advanced C4I structures in the DoD will elevate your ability to manage the complexity of crises and allow you to move more rapidly towards recovery.  The improved pre-crisis situational awareness that you’ll realize with the RDR plan will enhance mitigation and support risk management and resource allocation decisions.
