THE WORLD'S LEADING EXPERT ON DISASTER PLANNING
OUR CEO
Patrick Hardy is the single most innovative and accomplished disaster planning expert in the world. He leverages his decades of experience to empower large companies, small businesses, families, event planners, and more in the face of any emergency. Patrick strongly believes the only way to deliver optimal service is to discover what your business is all about and who you are as a business owner. Armed with that information, he will deliver premier emergency preparedness service no matter how big or small your business is. No matter what sort of small business you run—bar, nursing home, RV park, school, and so much more—Patrick will leverage every bit of his expertise to take care of everything you need.

Patrick is a Certified Emergency Manager®, a Certified Risk Manager®, and a FEMA Master of Exercise®. He and his team deliver value based on individual projects whereas his competitors charge on an hourly basis. Among his accomplishments are:
