ICET has gained a track record in the development, improvement and implementation of rescue networks at different levels of governance. We have developed a systematic approach to improve disaster preparedness protocols and communication. The scope of our work includes such activities as risk analysis, feasibility studies, investment plans, preparedness planning and community awareness.

Some of our projects have been ordered directly by national governments, but ICET has also performed various assignments for the European Commission, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cordaid and the World Bank. These included both small and large­scale assignments in the field of disaster management and capacity building.

Scope


Within the scope of the programme, we have implemented many projects that included the following areas of expertise:
  • Disaster Preparedness Planning
  • Civil Emergency Response Teams (CERT)
  • Early Warning Systems
  • Community awareness
  • Investment planning
  • Tendering support
  • Design of Fire and Rescue stations and training centres
  • Development of ambulance services
  • Setting up emergency facilities in hospitals
  • Designing and developing emergency control rooms 
  • Industrial crisis planning and preparedness

To be able to offer a complete range of services, we have a strong team of national and international experts to our disposal. Depending on the specific project objectives, we compose a project team in close consultation with our client. Each individual team member has in­depth knowledge and an academic background in a certain area of expertise, for example: disaster management, law, strategy, education, research, communication, project management and financial affairs.
We consider it to be of central importance to provide clients with a clear description and outline of the actual assignment, including implementation, quality and investment costs. Complete transparency is upheld throughout this process.   

Emergency Response Training

Internationally, improving Emergency Response Networks is increasingly recognized as an essential policy goal. Governments often search for international expertise and cooperation. ICET helps the identification of emergency response objectives and priorities by defining appropriate methods and procedures. In close cooperation with our client, we search for ways to meet such objectives nationally, regionally or cross-border.

Planning has no purpose unless it is accompanied by suitable responder training. As the complexity of an incident increases, it becomes more and more important for rescue teams  to operate within a clearly defined and straightforward procedural framework. ICET not only offers assistance in developing such procedures, but also offers custom­made training.
