Disaster Control and Emergency Planning

In the event of major accidents and disasters, counties and urban areas have a high degree of responsibility for coordinating defense measures. Comprehensive organizational documents (hazard control plan, emergency plan, crisis plan, action plan, special plan, etc.) are drawn up to prepare for these extraordinary events. In particular, the structured consideration of possible scenarios and the definition of a catalogue of measures can significantly increase resilience. FORPLAN supports authorities and other stakeholders in preventive planning with the following subtasks:

  • Risk assessment and identification of critical scenarios

  • General and event-specific risk analysis and risk visualization

  • Determination of existing management potential (fire brigade, emergency organization, disaster relief, companies, etc.) and development of information documents, defense calendars, etc.

  • Development of administrative, organizational and operational/tactical management structures

  • Exercise monitoring and evaluation (across all specialist services)

  • Site planning

  • Civil Protection & Emergency Planning

Municipalities that are part of a larger district are often confronted with extraordinary events, without an official disaster declaration. We are particularly committed to strengthening the coping strategies of municipalities beyond regular fire protection requirements. FORPLAN advises municipalities on need- and cost-oriented emergency planning for extraordinary hazard prevention scenarios. The following services are provided:

Consultancy and lectures on the role of municipalities in the management of extraordinary incidents

  • Hazard and risk analysis

  • Seminars and workshops on community resilience

  • Advice on the structure of a crisis management team

  • Specific emergency planning (failure of critical infrastructure, floods, storms, etc.)

  • Active involvement of the population through lectures and information material
