FAQs
Our agency already has an emergency plan. Why do we need JGA?
Having a plan and having a plan that works are two different things. Most plans are written to meet a compliance requirement, not to guide real decision – making under pressure. JGA evaluates what you have, identifies the gaps, and helps you build something your team can actually execute when it counts.
What types of agencies do you work with on emergency management?
We work with cities, counties, special districts, and public safety agencies across California. Whether you are building a program from the ground up or strengthening an existing one, JGA has worked in your environment.
What does a tabletop exercise involve?
A tabletop exercise walks your leadership team through a simulated emergency scenario in a structured discussion format. The goal is not to find fault. It is to surface gaps in your plan, test communication protocols, and build confidence before a real event requires it.
How do we know if our current program has gaps?
Start with a program assessment. JGA evaluates your existing plans, training records, and organizational structure against current standards and real-world requirements. Most agencies are surprised by what the assessment surfaces, in both directions.
