  Share This Story

OMAHA, Neb. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Continuum Worldwide Corporation (CWC) unveiled plans to join the Security Executive Council (SEC) and Michigan State University (MSU) in a series of critical incident planning workshops.

These workshops, now backed by the power of three, were developed by the School of Criminal Justice at MSU in the aftermath of September 11, 2001 to help organizations of any size prepare for, respond to, and recover from the impact of critical incidents, including man-made and natural disasters. Initially funded and endorsed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and subsequently adopted by the SEC when DHS funding ended, these workshops have been battle-tested in more than 24 states with over 4,000 participants..

Continuum Worldwide will act as a primary conduit for these workshops. "We are honored to have this opportunity to work closely with the subject matter experts at MSU," said Jim Dale, Managing Consultant and Director of Chief Security Officer Solutions at Continuum Worldwide. "They have been the sole architect of these successful workshops, and they carry an impressive background in both the public and private sectors."

"Continuum Worldwide will be instrumental in the continued success of these workshops," said Bob Hayes, Managing Director of the Security Executive Council. "Their active participation in the security community and their rapidly expanding client base will represent a unique opportunity to place these workshops in the hands of organizations that need them most."

These workshops are designed for corporate crisis and/or incident management teams within businesses, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, or any other organizations that wish to collaborate for more efficient and cost-effective joint preparedness, response, and recovery on a city, county, or regional level. Workshops can be modified to meet the specific needs or concerns of the customer.
