About Us
|
Today,
more than ever, tribal governments, local governments, business and industry,
educational institutions, and other entities are facing increasing hazards
and threats. These risks can harm or kill people, disrupt operations and
services, shut down business, and damage facilities. They may also threaten
an organization’s image and reputation and may impact how others perceive your
organization. Citizens,
owners, stockholders, customers, patrons, and students expect that systems,
plans, and procedures be in place that provide for emergency preparedness,
effective response and recovery, and mitigation of hazards and threats. The reality
is that many organizations do not have emergency management programs in
place. Many existing programs are poorly designed, outdated, and untested. In
addition, many organizations do not have people with the knowledge,
expertise, and resources to design and implement a comprehensive program. Businesses,
governments, and educational institutions have accountants, engineers, human
resource professionals, and attorneys to deal with financial, facility,
personnel, and legal issues. It is sound business practice and good sense to
secure the services of a trained and experienced emergency management
professional to evaluate and improve existing emergency management programs
or to design and implement a program that meets the needs of a particular
entity. Full
Circle Emergency Management Strategies is a resource for organizations taking
action to address their emergency management responsibilities. Services
include comprehensive emergency management system evaluation, design,
implementation, and maintenance services. We can evaluate existing programs,
make recommendations, and assist with implementation of corrective actions.
If there is no program in place, we can design, test, and implement a program
specific to the unique challenges and needs of each client. The
demand for effective emergency management programs is increasing. We use
proven methods and approaches to help clients meet their emergency
preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation responsibilities. |
Who is Tim Sanders?

establishment of the Office in response to a series of natural and
technological emergencies and disasters that impacted the Community in 1997.
He managed all aspects of a comprehensive emergency management program for
the Community. The program he established at Mr.

/ State sponsored emergency management courses. He is also an adjunct
instructor for FEMA’s Emergency Management
Institute. In recognition of his efforts, Mr.
Sanders is a member of the International Association of Emergency Managers

his determination to assure that tribal emergency management issues were
considered, he was asked to chair a newly formed Tribal Affairs Committee in
IAEM in 2000. He holds the prestigious Certified Emergency Manager (CEMÒ) credential awarded by
IAEM. Tim earned a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Health degree from Mr.
Sanders’ experience, education, maturity, and motivation provide him with the
tools necessary to evaluate, design, develop, implement, and improve
emergency management programs anywhere in the country. His extensive
knowledge of the workings of government, business, and industry allows him to
use his experience and ability to design programs that meet the needs and
challenges of any organization. |
