Which disasters can ESP respond and assist?
This list of natural disasters is endless: earthquakes; floods; forest fires; storms; tsunamis; biological, chemical, environmental, radiological & technological disasters; marine pollution; and combating the effects of terrorist attacks are just a sample. The full disaster cycle – prevention, preparedness, response and recovery – are taken into consideration by ESP for any type of disaster, be it natural or man-made.
When any type of catastrophe strikes, it is important to quickly know what kind of experts are needed and who can provide these services rapidly. Enhanced Security Professionals has provided immediate and well coordinated relief assistance for a number of major global disasters: Asian tsunami in December 2004, Hurricane Katrina 2005, the Earthquakes of Haiti and Chile in 2010, Earthquake in L'Aquila (Italy) in April 2009, as well as for major flooding events and forest fires. ESP experts have also responded to toxic chemical spills and oil spill accidents: 2006: Philippines (oil spill), 2006: Ivory Coast (toxic spill), 2007: South Korea (oil spill), 2007: Black Sea (oil spill), 2010: Gulf of Mexico - U.S. (oil spill).
Training and/or Exchange of Experts
An effective response to a natural or manmade disaster requires three types of proactive countermeasures that ESP response protocols follow: subject matter training courses, simulation exercise training and the constant exchange of experts. Our goal is to dramatically improve personal response competency and ensure compatibility between our intervention teams and authorities from different participating states. By strengthening these categories, ESP can contribute positively to the effectiveness of relief assistance.
