Risk Mitigation & Crisis Management

No business or organization is immune from risk. The hazards each entity faces breaks down into two types, human; people inside and outside the organization or facility, and catastrophic problems; such as, fires, explosions, earthquakes, hurricanes and floods. Having the appropriate plans and countermeasures in place could determine if your business or organization will survive or fail.

As important risk mitigation and crisis management is to critical infrastructure protection, such as utilities or chemical plant, it is equally important to an organization facing labor strike, kidnapping, extortion, or cyber terrorism. How you plan for it makes all the difference.

As threats continue to evolve so must your planning and countermeasures.

Walker International assists you in your overall protection of assets by mitigating your risk through identification of vulnerabilities, preventive practices, procedures, and countermeasures.
