PERSONAL RECOVERY

It is estimated that over the past 6 years, kidnappings around the world have increased by 100%. Corporations today face security threats against their financial welfare and in some cases, the physical well being of their personnel. Unfortunately, your organization's executives and employees are increasingly at risk, both at home and abroad, for kidnap, ransom, and extortion. The use of kidnapping or extortion to gain access to industrial secrets, to make socio-political statements, or for monetary purposes, continues to rise.
 

A combination of crisis events, political corruption, government unrest and criminal opportunism has created a dangerous environment for many individuals and organizations around the world. Due to business globalization, multinational companies need to prepare for the possibility of attacks on their employees and facilities virtually anywhere in the world. Core Group has the experience to assist in your Risk Assessment or Personnel Recovery.

RAPID RESPONSE RECOVERY

The Core Group Rapid Response Team was formed to protect personnel and salvage possessions of businesses and citizens ravaged by disasters or political unrest. 

 

We can mobilize fully operational mobile Command Post and/ or Multiple Incident Management Teams to assess the state of security and safety at designated client locations, identify ingress and egress routes, provide and coordinate critical supplies and resources such as fuel and food, and implement contingency plans to evacuate people as requested.

INCIDENT RESPONSE


Many Companies are "caught out" at the "eleventh hour" when it comes to the difficult decision to evacuate a site. A sound plan is necessary to ensure success so that when the crisis has passed your company can re-establish itself without any further unnecessary disruption.

 

Evacuation Planning; as part of your overall Security Plan Core Group will advise on the formulation of effective Evacuation Plans in the event that your company's position in a given location becomes untenable due to Civil Disobedience, War, Terrorism or the like.
  

CRISIS & RISK MANAGEMENT

Crisis and Risk Management is the process by which a company identifies its potential losses and takes steps to avoid or reduce them. It is not a quick fix. It involves anticipating, identifying, studying and forecasting likely crisis situations and deciding on the various methods an organization should use to prevent or cope with crises. Company executives must be committed to ensuring that Crisis and Risk Management, and Contingency Planning are an integral part of the organizational structure for the long term.

 

Core Group prides ourselves on our combat proven ability to anticipate and respond in a professional manner to any crisis. An untimely crisis can be severely detrimental to the finances, reputation and relations of an organization. With this in mind, we develop flexible and comprehensive contingency plans that cater for your particular requirements.

 

It is essential that any Contingency Plan assess precautionary measures, including vulnerability analysis and defense strategies. With a strong Contingency Plan, preparation for the integration of these preventative measures can begin. Preparing for all potential hazards with careful management can prevent further crises. Speedy and timely recovery is vital to overcoming a crisis.
