Risk is about hazard and vulnerability. Hazards (such as fire, earthquake and flood) have similar general characteristics by which we measure them (such as areal extent, frequency, severity, speed of onset, duration etc). A great deal is known or can be readily sourced about the features of these forces. However we are each differently vulnerable - and mapping how and why we are vulnerable is crucial.
"Know your enemy and (importantly), know yourself;
in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated."
(Sun Tzu 'The Art of War' 400BC)

EPCB Consulting Services (costs and conditions)
Our professional services are developed with you to ensure they are tailored to meet your needs.
We provide research, advice, plans, and the facilitation of reviews, exercises, and training.

The guidelines, tools and templates in our pages will both support your planning processes and strengthen your preparedness outcomes. Using familiar software (Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint), we focus on quality processes within a risk management framework. The approaches we provide serve as best practice models - they should not just be used as "templates for duplication" with a few global word changes. You should evaluate the significance of any specific requirements particular to your context (legal, political, cultural, commercial etc) - then tailor your approach and documentation accordingly.
