There have always been hazards; no critical industry or operation is without risk. Today’s threatscape is dynamic with social unrest. Political instability, climate change, rise of extremist groups and ideologies have resulted in an unprecedented number of attacks on everything from the power grid to seats of government, schools, critical manufacturing facilities and other targets, as active shooter attacks have tragically become regular occurrences.

Whether you are meeting regulatory requirements, recovering from an incident or are being proactive in implementing security and emergency preparedness measures, comprehensive, objective assessments and customized solutions developed through a collaborative approach can defend against these threats, reduce risk, respond and recovery quickly should an incident occur. TRC’s Security and Emergency Management team will be your trusted partner in meeting the security and emergency response challenges of today and into the future.
