History of AHM
All
Hazards Management, LLC. (AHM) has been recognized for its expertise in
the areas of technical security program development, planning, systems,
and services. The AHM client list is both substantial and
impressive, with a broad range of national and international
clients. AHM has helped clients successfully take advantage of
organizational and technological advancements, as well as solve
emergency management problems.
AHM
brings extensive experience in emergency response planning and policy
development support. We have experience in terrorism response planning,
WMD CBRNE planning, emergency management, environmental management,
political and cultural integration into regional synchronized planning,
as well as software development and integration experience;
AHM
was created in 2005 to enhance the DHS CBRNE mandated emergency
preparedness and synchronization work that the Argonne National
Laboratory (ANL) was supporting for large urban, multi-jurisdictional
UASI regions. As part of the ANL DHS Technical Assistance
Program, AHM supported development and synchronization of role and
jurisdictional responses to WMD, natural disaster, employee violence,
civil disobedience, and pandemic occurrences. AHM has
subsequently teamed with the UN CBRNE program and inspection
organization OPCW (Organization For The Prohibition of Chemical
Weapons) based in The Hague. OPCW recognized the need for AHM
assistance for improved visioning, planning, program development,
project management, and training in countries on all continents.
AHM
continues to monitor and integrate DHS, European Community PASR, WHO
and other international preparedness organizational recommendations
into our software models to provide the most comprehensive and
systematic tools to assist in our efforts.
Recent
awards from DOD, strategic teaming agreements with leading corporate
solution providers such as Smart and Associates, Lockheed Martin,
Argonne, University of Denver, L-3 Communications, Inc., and OPCW
countries, validate the need for AHM services and software.
AHM
staff include industry leaders in pharmacologic response to
contamination, science of CBRNE materials, live agent training,
response training and synchronization, communications, security,
defense, facility vulnerabilities, threat assessment, risk management,
diplomacy, and organizational team building.
In
the course of assisting clients, we have successfully proven our
philosophy that effective risk planning is a cost-effective process
that can adapt to changes, remain consistent with an organization’s
strategy, and deliver benefits such as manageability, assurance, and
time and cost efficiencies. Our approach to risk planning
achieves this goal by supporting the effectiveness of developing
resiliency from both an operational and technical support role.
The
AHM process consists of a series of meetings, interviews, surveys,
questionnaires, and other analytic and consensus-building tools to
develop operational goals and objectives for short-term and
long-terms plans. As goals and objectives are identified and
eventually compete for priority in the strategic plan, AHM will use
collaboration and proven interactive decision support software to
establish priorities in developing the program requirements.
The AHM approach:
• uses a logical, proven, knowledge based process of needs assessment
• provides realistic, quantifiable risk assessment
• results in improved investment value of enhancement expenditures
• uses proactive planning to get the right solution the first time
• saves time, money and resources
