With
the expansion of The Blue Cell, LLC through the recent acquisition of Command
School TTX, the number of products and services The Blue Cell, LLC offers has
notably increased. In an effort to
simplify the process of choosing the products and services that are most
suitable for your organization, The Blue Cell, LLC has created package options
which can be modified to fit the specific training, exercise, and consulting
needs of your organization. The Blue Cell, LLC offers courses in the following
categories: Incident Command System, Weapons of Mass Destruction, Emergency
Management Series, Leadership Series, and Advanced Planning Concepts (The Blue
Cell’s flagship training course). In
order for your organization to receive the specific training, exercise, and
consulting services you need, The Blue Cell will feature package options highlighting
courses available within the categories listed above. The featured package for the month of
February is The Comprehensive Emergency
Management Program (CEMP) for Educational Institutions.
In
light of recent terrorism events at our nation’s schools, as well as historical
criminal acts against our students that date to the mid 1990’s, The Blue Cell,
LLC and Command School TTX have created a number of individual product sets
that specifically address educational institutions’ safety and security.
As
a potential solution, The Blue Cell, LLC has established The Comprehensive Emergency Management Program for Educational
Institutions. As we all search for answers to protect our students, the
only approach in our experience is risk based ideas and actions to reduce vulnerabilities.
While
our package options will be modifiable, The Blue Cell, LLC encourages educators
to embrace this package in its entirety versus selecting portions of the program. This approach will ensure the greatest
reduction of risk and harden the institution’s vulnerabilities while ultimately
increasing student and staff safety and security. The Planning components of the program
include a Risk and Vulnerability Assessment, a Security Assessment, Plan Review,
and Plan Synchronization. The Training
components include courses in Incident Command System, Protecting Soft Targets,
Understanding and Planning for School Bomb Incidents, and Multi-Hazard Planning
for Schools. Two exercises are suggested
for this package, a table top exercise for school staff personnel and a
functional exercise for both school staff personnel and outside agencies. The program then ties each component together
by conducting a plan review, making any necessary adjustments discovered
throughout the process, and then implementing the plan.
The
Blue Cell, LLC is compelled to use their expertise in the field of planning,
training, and exercising for disasters and emergencies to help reduce and
ultimately eliminate the violence occurring in our nation’s educational
institutions.
