Crisis and Disaster Preparedness

​

In the rapidly evolving, unstable environment of a crisis, how well you respond depends on how well you’ve prepared. Often there is only one chance to get it right.


NavAid understands that an effective response is one that is immediate, coordinated and compassionate. We prepare companies to respond to crises, focusing not just on what to do, but on why it matters. We address the full preparedness cycle with an emphasis on the service delivery process, because whether it’s your employees or your customers and their families, people are at the heart of every response.

Emergency Response Program Assessment 

​

Our review of your existing emergency response program balances real world-needs with operational requirements. Grounded in research and informed by extensive first-hand experience, our team will evaluate all facets of your program’s effectiveness and recommend specific steps and strategies for improvement.

Emergency Response and Family Assistance Plan Development 

​

NavAid’s plans are customized to your business. We develop and document procedures with an eye to your operating environment, customer base, company culture and resources. Checklists and processes will be clear, streamlined, and integrated, preparing you to meet the needs of your customers and their families during crisis. We also know that an effective response relies on strong relationships with government agencies, insurers, airports, service providers, and others across the industry. NavAid helps you engage the right stakeholders and ask the right questions, cultivating the strong partnerships your program needs.

360 Communications Review™ 

​

To be credible, messaging must be consistent. If messages -- whether direct or indirect -- are inconsistent or in conflict, it erodes employee, customer, and public trust and can send a well-intended family assistance response off-course.

 

NavAid understands the many complex facets of family assistance messaging. Our 360 Communications Review™  evaluates the themes and threads running through your program documents. We help ensure the message you’re sending is consistent and aligned with your organizational values and priorities.
