What we do
We work to understand the individual needs of your community or organization while weaving in the bigger picture solutions: helping teams prepare, respond, and recover more effectively.
Emergency Management Services
Disaster & Emergency Management
Keeping your community safe is a big job. As disasters increase in frequency, governments are feeling the pressure to have a rock-solid plan in place, but may not have all the knowledge on their team. When time and resources are scarce, let us help improve response, preparedness, mitigation, and recovery.
Business Continuity & Management
Poorly-managed crises can take a toll on your reputation, while successful response and recovery strengthens the trust your community and customers have in your business. If you’re struggling to complete a crisis management project and looking for guidance, our team is here to help guide you.
Workshops, Training & Exercises
Crisis leadership and emergency management are specialised skills your team needs to guide your community or business through disaster response and recovery. RIC provides the training your team needs to confidently tackle the challenges that arise in the wake of disasters and emergencies.
Resilience Starts Here.
Tailored plans address specific challenges before they happen. Every community and business has unique priorities, processes, and structures. RIC develops custom solutions that fit your operations—and the people behind them—based on a thorough understanding of your community or business, emergency management best-practices, and over 18 years of hands-on experience.

No such thing as natural disasters.
Research shows disasters are almost always the result of human actions and decisions. As community disasters become more frequent across Canada, disaster planning is no longer a “nice to have,” it’s an essential component of long-term business sustainability.
