Security Planning
A plan only works if the people in the building can carry it out under stress. SafetySync writes Emergency Operations Plans and security protocols that your staff and volunteers can actually execute.
Built on FEMA and CISA planning guidance, tied to the findings of your vulnerability assessment, and written in plain language for the people who will use it.
Why a written plan matters
When something goes wrong, people do what they have practiced and what they can remember. A plan that lives in a binder no one has read does not help in the first five minutes, and the first five minutes decide most outcomes.
A clear, current plan also answers the questions boards, insurers, and grant reviewers ask after an incident: what did you identify, and what reasonable steps did you take?
What we build
Emergency Operations Plan. A core plan covering who is in charge, how decisions are made, how people are warned, and how you communicate with families, members, and first responders.
Threat-specific procedures. Clear steps for the scenarios that matter most to your organization, such as an active assailant, a threat or suspicious package, fire, severe weather, a medical emergency, or a disruptive person.
Lockdown, evacuation, and shelter. Routes, rally points, and who does what, mapped to your actual building.
Roles and safety team structure. Defined responsibilities for staff, ushers, greeters, and volunteer safety team members, with backups for each role.
Reunification and recovery. How you account for people, reunite families, and get back to operating after an incident.
Quick-reference tools. One-page guides and flip charts for the people who need answers fast, not a 60-page document.
How an engagement works
1. Review. We read what you already have and the findings from your vulnerability assessment.
2. Listen. Working sessions with leadership and the people who run your building day to day.
3. Write. A draft plan and procedures tailored to your facility, people, and schedule.
4. Refine and hand off. Leadership review, revisions, and a walkthrough with your team. Pair it with a tabletop exercise to test the plan before you rely on it.
Who it's built for
Houses of worship, schools, nonprofits, community centers, businesses, and local government offices that have no plan, an outdated plan, or a plan no one has practiced. Planning costs are also an allowable expense under the Nonprofit Security Grant Program.
Documented defense. Before the incident.
