Emergency Preparedness Solutions developed EOC plans and delivered training to Provo City EOC staff professionally, timely and with great integrity. Tim’s experience in Emergency Management allows him to effectively meet the needs of local governments.

Emergency Preparedness Solutions (EPS) has become a critical part of our training development team. We can count on them to build upon and improve our own ideas, and they deliver highly professional training materials designed in accordance with our own in-house templates. EPS brings robust knowledge and experience tp the table, in the realms of instructional design and adult learning, as well as topics such as NIMS, EOC operations, CBRNE response, shelter operations and more.

EPS designed a curriculum from scratch and delivered a series of trainings that were perfectly tailored to their needs. The participants left the trainings with a vastly improved understanding of disaster preparedness and how to apply that knowledge to better prepare their staff and volunteers for a disaster.

Through the work completed by EPS, Vermont has been able to gain a clear picture of the training needs across the State, allowing us to develop a new training program to meet identified areas for improvement. EPS’ staff was efficient and catered to the evolving project, changing direction mid-stream as parameters dictated.

Emergency Preparedness Solutions (EPS) did a great job in understanding what we as an organization wanted to accomplish and then they executed to detail on the objectives we were testing. From Concept and Objectives Meeting through exercise design and execution to After Action Review/Improvement Emergency Preparedness Solutions excelled in all phases. Our exercise participants were completely happy with the conduct of our exercises, the professionalism of the EPS staff, and the value they received in the cost of the exercises. I look forward to working with Emergency Preparedness Solutions in future exercises!

Emergency Preparedness Solutions (EPS) has been a valued partner in sustaining a culture of safety and preparedness at Vermont Gas (VGS) for many years now. Their professionalism and broad knowledge base for all aspects of disaster preparedness and planning cannot be overstated. Whether it is leading an exercise, conducting a training, facilitating an After-Action Report (AAR), or helping with emergency planning; EPS has always provided VGS with a standard of service that is what I would consider above and beyond. Their approach, with everything they have done for VGS, is pro-active and thorough. Reports they have prepared are individualized and are not the result of a cookie-cutter approach. Format and content are always concise and readable by VGS Team members. It should also be noted that throughout the pandemic, when many businesses ground to a halt or were significantly impacted, EPS seamlessly continued to provide VGS with effective preparedness services, but in an unexpected virtual environment. All along the way, providing VGS with insightful findings and valuable recommendations. EPS staff, including Tim Riecker, have been wonderful to work with and are considered part of the VGS Team. We greatly appreciate their outstanding customer service.

Emergency Preparedness Solutions did a fantastic job for the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) through their expertise in emergency management operations and training, their thoroughness in approach to all tasks, ability to communicate effectively to all stakeholders, and their project management abilities. EPS was contracted to update and field-test EOC training scenarios for the airport community. They developed a comprehensive plan for achieving the objectives, executed the plan efficiently, and were nimble in response to the findings of their research. This has resulted in the airport industry now having an EOC exercise and training tool that is based on sound learning objectives and appropriately validated by experts within the industry. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with the EPS team again.

EPS played a pivotal role in the success of Vermont’s Vigilant Guard 2016. EPS provided management and communications with over 100 controllers and evaluators that were utilized throughout the nine (9) day exercise. Without Tim and Robin’s hard work to fill all necessary positions and Tim’s tireless work during conduct, the exercise evaluation would have fallen short. Even through the After Action Report drafting, EPS supported Vermont’s needs to ensure that we had the best data from those who worked for them during the exercise. Each night Tim sent out an Action Plan for the next days’ exercise activity. This was very helpful in making sure that all the staff were in the correct location at the correct time. Great support and service provided by EPS throughout the entire process.
