Training and exercises are only as good as the plans they're built to teach and validate. Ascenttra writes plans that are grounded in doctrine, aligned to your actual operations, and designed to be exercised — not filed away.
Most plans gather dust. Ascenttra's don't — because we write them with your exercise program in mind from the start. Our Plans-to-Practice Analysis integrates your plans directly into exercise design, so every gap a plan creates becomes an opportunity your exercise can address.
Our experienced plan writers follow recognized industry standards and best practices. We gather the necessary information up front, maintain open communication with your staff throughout, and deliver clear milestones so the process stays on track and on budget.
We analyze your plans to identify evaluation opportunities, compliance gaps, and procedural conflicts — then build those directly into your exercise design.
Every plan is developed against applicable standards — HSEEP, NIMS, CPG 101, EMAP — so you're covered from day one without a separate crosswalk process.
Ascenttra's curated library of 1,000+ authoritative doctrinal references ensures every plan reflects current national standards and best practices.
Clear milestones, up-front information gathering, and dedicated project management reduce the administrative burden on your staff and keep the project moving.
Ascenttra has extensive planning experience across the emergency management spectrum — preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. We write plans for government agencies, healthcare systems, airports, utilities, and private sector organizations.
Comprehensive all-hazards response plans covering roles, responsibilities, coordination structures, and operational procedures across all disciplines. Written to CPG 101 standards.
Ensures essential functions continue during and after any disruption. Covers succession, alternate facilities, vital records, devolution, and reconstitution.
Site-specific plans covering evacuation, shelter-in-place, lockdown, hazardous materials, and other facility-level emergencies. Tailored to your building layout, occupancy, and operational environment.
Position-specific procedures, operational guides, and SOPs that translate high-level plans into actionable steps for individual roles. The bridge between policy and practice.
Emergency action and response plans for energy providers, water utilities, and other critical infrastructure operators. Covers threat scenarios, notification procedures, mutual aid, and restoration priorities.
Hazard vulnerability assessments, surge capacity plans, HICS-aligned response plans, and healthcare coalition coordination plans. Developed to meet accreditation and regulatory requirements.
Every Ascenttra plan is developed against applicable national standards. We don't perform compliance checks after the fact — we build to the standard from day one.
Ascenttra's Plans-to-Practice Analysis is the process that ensures your exercise actually reflects what your organization has committed to on paper. It's what separates an Ascenttra exercise from a generic scenario.
We analyze your current EOPs, SOPs, policies, and procedures to understand what your organization has committed to doing in an emergency.
We identify evaluation opportunities, plan conflicts, procedural gaps, and compliance requirements that the exercise should address.
Findings are incorporated directly into exercise objectives, scenario injects, and evaluation criteria — so the AAR produces findings your plans can actually address.
We start by understanding your organization — its structure, hazard profile, existing plans, and applicable regulatory requirements. We gather what we need up front so the process stays efficient.
Ascenttra develops a draft plan grounded in current doctrine and your organization's specific operational environment. Clear milestones keep the project on track.
We facilitate review sessions with your key stakeholders, incorporate feedback, and resolve any procedural conflicts identified during the review process.
We document alignment with applicable standards — HSEEP, NIMS, EMAP, CPG 101 — in a Client Crosswalk deliverable that satisfies grant, regulatory, and accreditation requirements.
Final plan delivered and, where applicable, integrated directly into your exercise design via Plans-to-Practice Analysis — so your training reflects your plans from day one.
Ascenttra's Client Crosswalk documents your organization's compliance with applicable grant requirements, regulatory standards, and accreditation criteria in a single, reviewable deliverable. No more assembling evidence from multiple sources when an auditor or accreditor asks.
I just wanted to express my gratitude once again for all your work on our planning project. You made things very easy. I really appreciate the professionalism and expertise that you and Ascenttra brought to our county.
