Marske Consulting Group offers general training in the following areas:
When an organization faces a crisis it is critical, for the
stability of the organization and often its very existence
that the executive staff know how to properly access and
work with the media, including how to properly respond to
media inquiries concerning the crisis. The primary objective
is to minimize the crisis' damage on the institution and its
effects on personnel, assets and reputation. In close
consultation with your public relations representative or
team, we will provide comprehensive actionable guidelines to
help implement a crisis management framework for improving
media relations. This will include developing user-friendly
tools to help stabilize and improve overall public
relations.
In the ever-increasing world of violence and emergency
preparedness, developing standard operating procedures to
deal with a range of emergency or crisis events is vital.
Formalizing contingency plans, Memorandums of Understanding
and identifying support functions is necessary to mitigate
the effects of emergency situations and to improve crisis
recovery. This training is directly geared toward
management's responsibility to ensure adequate emergency
response plans are instituted, reviewed and updated. It also
is to assist management in providing effective emergency
response training to ensure input and support of all
employees.

Risk Assessment
Methodology
Violence, vandalism, and terrorism are prevalent in the
world today. Managers and decision-makers must have a
reliable way of estimating risk to their facilities. Risk
assessment facilitates decision-making concerning the type
and levels of security that are required at various
facilities. A risk assessment methodology has been developed
and applied to assess risk at various types of facilities
including U.S. Mints and federal dams. The methodology is
based on the following risk equation.
The process begins with a characterization of the facility
including identification of the most likely undesirable
events and the respective critical assets. Guidance for
defining a design basis threat is included, as well as for
using the definition of the threat to estimate the
likelihood of adversary attack at a specific facility.
Relative values of consequence are then estimated. Methods
are also included for estimating the effectiveness of the
security system against the adversary attack. Finally, risk
is calculated. In the event that the value of risk is deemed
to be unacceptable (too high), the methodology addresses a
process for identifying and evaluating security system
upgrades needed to reduce risk
