Three disciplines.
One integrated approach.

Three disciplines — emergency management, program evaluation, and leadership development — delivered as a single integrated capability. Whether you need a strategic plan, a rigorous evaluation, or the organizational capacity to sustain both.

Emergency Management & Preparedness
Program Evaluation & Grant Services
Leadership & Workforce Development
Emergency Management
& Preparedness

From county-level continuity plans to federally mandated radiological preparedness exercises, EKG delivers the full spectrum of emergency management services — grounded in direct operational experience across 14 federally declared major disaster declarations and a proven track record of identifying a client's unscoped risks. EKG engages in frontier hazard and risk assessment — evaluating novel risks and positioning our clients to be prepared before impacts occur.

Policy & Doctrine Development
Emergency operations plans, annexes, and standard operating procedures built on FEMA standards and Federal Interagency Operational Plans (FIOPs).
Continuity Planning
Continuity of Operations (COOP), Continuity of Government (COG), and continuity of leadership plans for governmental and institutional clients — including non-governmental continuity planning that addresses leadership succession and organizational resilience beyond traditional COOP scope.
Exercise Design & Evaluation
Tabletop, functional, and full-scale exercises designed and evaluated against HSEEP standards, including multi-jurisdictional and multi-campus scenarios.
Radiological Emergency Preparedness
REP program support for FEMA-graded exercises at nuclear power plant communities.
After-Action Review & Improvement Planning
Rigorous AAR/IP development following exercises and real-world activations, surfacing opportunities for improvement that drive measurable positive program outcomes.
Emerging & Novel Threat Assessment
Identification and operationalization of emerging threats and novel technological hazards not yet addressed by standard emergency management frameworks — translated into actionable preparedness strategies.
Program Evaluation
& Grant Services

EKG designs, implements, and teaches program evaluation as a strategic management tool — not a compliance exercise. Drawing on experience across government agencies, nonprofits, and academic institutions, EKG brings the analytical rigor to measure what matters, diagnose why outcomes are or aren't being achieved, and build the performance infrastructure organizations need to improve. Grant writing and lifecycle management are one part of a broader portfolio built around making programs work.

Program Evaluation Design & Implementation
Logic model development, evaluation framework design, and full implementation for government agencies, nonprofits, and grant-funded programs — at the local, state, and federal level.
Performance Metrics & Monitoring
Development and implementation of performance measurement systems, benchmarks, and monitoring frameworks for government agencies, nonprofits, and grant-funded programs — providing actionable data for management decisions and funder reporting.
Grant Writing — Full Lifecycle
Strategic grant development from opportunity identification and narrative writing through budget construction, submission, and post-award compliance.
Cost-Benefit Analysis
Structured cost-benefit analysis for programs, projects, and policy decisions — supporting investment justification, resource allocation, and funder reporting.
Evaluation Capacity Building
Equipping organizations to sustain evaluation practices internally — including staff training, tool development, and data collection system design.
Logic Model Analysis & Troubleshooting
Bidirectional logic model analysis that works backward from outcomes to inputs and forward to verify causal integrity — identifying why outcomes aren't being achieved, whether inputs are sufficient to drive results, and whether programs are measuring true outcomes rather than outputs. Applies Six Sigma analytical methodology to assist our clients in troubleshooting existing situations where their outcomes are not being achieved.
Leadership & Workforce
Development

Effective programs require capable people. EKG develops leaders, builds organizational capacity, and plans for the future — through executive coaching, curriculum design, strategic facilitation, and mentorship frameworks that develop the people who carry the work forward long after the engagement ends.

Executive Coaching
One-on-one coaching for emergency managers, program directors, and organizational leaders navigating complexity, transition, or high-stakes decisions.
Curriculum Design & Delivery
Adult learning-centered curriculum for professional development programs, academic courses, and agency training initiatives across disciplines.
Training Design
Needs-based training development aligned with organizational objectives, from single-session workshops to multi-module professional development programs.
Strategic Planning Facilitation
Structured facilitation for government agencies, nonprofits, and academic departments — from visioning through implementation roadmaps.
Organizational Assessment
Capability assessments and gap analyses that give leadership an honest, data-informed picture of where the organization stands and what it takes to improve.
Mentorship & Succession Planning
Structured mentorship programs and succession planning frameworks that develop the next generation of emergency management and program leadership — ensuring organizational continuity and building internal capacity within our clients that outlasts any single engagement.

Clients across sectors who share
one thing in common: the consequences
of getting it wrong are real.

Federal Agencies
FEMA, DHS, and federal prime contractors requiring specialized subcontractor expertise
State & Local Government
County and municipal agencies building or strengthening emergency management programs
Critical Infrastructure Owners & Operators
Private sector and public owners of critical infrastructure sectors — and the prime contractors that support them — requiring specialized emergency preparedness, risk assessment, and continuity expertise
Higher Education
Universities and university systems managing large-scale emergency preparedness programs
Nonprofits
Mission-driven organizations seeking grant strategy, evaluation design, and program capacity
Nuclear Utilities & Communities
Offsite response organizations supporting radiological emergency preparedness programs

Rigor at every stage. Real people at the end of every engagement.

Every EKG engagement is led directly by a senior practitioner — someone with operational experience in the specific work being delivered, not a generalist manager overseeing it from a distance.

EKG's Six Sigma Black Belt methodology is applied across all three practice areas: deliverables are designed to eliminate defects at the source, minimize rework, and produce work product that holds up under rigorous scrutiny the first time it's reviewed. That's not a process efficiency claim. It's how EKG protects your investment.
