At Veterus we take pride in the breadth and depth of our emergency planning and disaster recovery expertise, which has been gained and consolidated through more than 20 years of world-class training and experience in military and civil contingency planning.

An example of this is our comprehensive understanding of radiation emergencies: from anticipation and prevention through to response, containment and recovery.

We’ve personally led, planned and directed the response to military and civil  emergencies ranging from nuclear warfare and weapon accidents to submarine reactor-plant breaches requiring shelter, evacuation and medication of a city of 300,000 citizens and full remediation of a contaminated city – with all of the associated multi-media messaging to warn, inform and reassure the local population and staff.

The ability to safely manage this kind of crisis only comes from careful planning, training and exercising – that’s when you find out the real issues and problems – and they are seldom what first comes to mind!

If you’d like advice or help with planning for radiation emergencies – please get in touch.

I’ve attached a one-page pdf highlighting some of my personal experience in this field (Clickon the link below to download)
