Emergency Management Capability Assessment Projects
Are you confident your organization is ready for the next disaster?
Even experienced emergency management leaders struggle to determine their next step. When your organization's emergency management or disaster response capabilities are new, it's easy to spot the gaps. But once those capabilities mature, identifying meaningful opportunities for improvement becomes challenging.
Our Capability Assessment provides clarity, objectivity, and actionable recommendations to ensure you're always moving forward, strategically and confidently.

Our Assessment Process
The CP Journal uses a structured and proven five-step approach to complete our capability assessments.
Step 1: Project Kickoff
Establish assessment scope, objectives, and stakeholder engagement plans.
Step 2: Document Review
Thorough analysis of existing plans, reports, and policies relevant to the capability being assessed.
We utilize AI tools to analyze open-source (non-client-provided) case studies and after-action reviews from similar organizations nationwide, identifying insights and lessons learned that can support the assessment.
Step 3: Stakeholder Interviews and Engagement
Targeted one-on-one or small-group interviews with key stakeholders to gain deeper insights.
An optional organization-wide survey is available to provide broader insights and to further validate findings.
Step 4: Final Report and Leadership Briefing
We deliver a concise, actionable report clearly outlining capability strengths, gaps, risks, and recommendations.
We facilitate a leadership presentation to review findings, ensure clarity, and guide future planning.
Step 5: Project Closeout
Review of project goals, objectives, and next steps.
