Have a Plan Before it's Too Late

A Service Company 

Helping you Plan was started as a division of Building Better Tomorrows (BBT) to provide an easy to use format for business and individuals to gain access to the latest news and information regarding any pandemic or security threat.  

Our staff includes training professionals, engineering resources, technology personnel, security analysts, and physicians.  We take pride in our response capabilities as well as our unique approach to business planning.

 

Planning for a Disaster – Disaster Recovery planning is at the forefront of most businesses within the Gulf Coast region as a result of the devastating effects of Katrina and Rita last year.  As the aftermath of these devastating storms became clearer to those who witnessed these horrific events, the central theme proved to be a renewed and dedicated focus to proper planning.  The message became clear to business and families alike that the need for efforts prior to the disaster is more important many times than the actual event itself.  In coordination with FEMA, The Department of Homeland Security, and local and state officials, BBT can assist in disseminating the information in a quick, concise, and easily understandable format.  The business model also includes the formation of a team of highly trained individuals that will outline procedures in a practical and logical format including information regarding the health and safety issues related to the current threat.  This information will also be targeted to “at risk” communities so that a clear message is presented to the community. 

History
 

Building Better Tomorrows (BBT) was formed in October 2001 focusing on developmental seminars, professional and personnel training, and consulting services to organizations throughout the country.  In addition, the company team promotes continued community involvement by encouraging participation in community development initiatives. 

 

Helping you Plan was formed as a division of BBT to offer an easy to use format for business professionals as well as individual family members seeking to formulate a plan to secure their future.

 

At present many organizations find the task of security almost impossible.  As each new threat becomes increasingly dangerous, the need for proper planning and execution is essential.  With the current workload of existing personnel already at a peak level, the need for more aggressive action is apparent.   Many find themselves struggling to formulate methods while still maintaining the current demands for their time.  With that in mind,  Helping You Plan seeks to make the process as painless as possible.

Part of our analysis will include:

1. Analyze current systems and determine any vulnerability and define best practice scenarios

2. Training out in the field

3. Communication with various agencies and with various methods of communication.

4. IDIQ Contracts for basic and emergency services and/or Inter Local Agreements

5. Review lessons learned from previous implementation activities.

6. Develop Standards of Operation in the event of a disaster.

7. Provide Teaming Opportunities for current industry leaders.

An equally important goal of the company is to provide educational opportunities regarding security to at risk businesses and communities.  A complete training staff is assembled that will include certified trainers, industry experts and appropriate medical personnel.  The intent is to set up a training system whereby a quick distribution of needed training and education pertaining to security, pandemic planning and appropriate disaster response will be easily accessible to local, state, and federal resources.  With that end in mind the principals of BBT are finalizing their FEMA certifications by seeking training at the FEMA institute for continued studies. 

Future Goals
 

As part of our continued focus for community service Helping you Plan will continue to add additional services to provide updates and new information as it becomes available regarding any pandemic threat, natural disaster, or catastrophic event. 

 

Our staff is also committed to staying up to date and properly trained in the latest security measures.  Part of that goal includes on going certification through FEMA and other related organizations.

 

One additional benefit of this website will be the ability of our team of professionals to quickly disseminate the needed information throughout the local community.  Our team, in conjunction with local, state, and federal organizations will provide a voice to the community as well as representation within the portions of public that can easily be disenfranchised.  Our ability to communicate and provide much needed representation within these “at risk” communications via our extensive training programs will be and much needed asset to assist and augment current governmental staff. 

In addition, our link to the private business sector will also aid the authorities as they seek for business support for new security and pandemic initiatives.
