Consulting and Safety Planning

EQUIP helps organizations, events, and community groups prepare for medical emergencies, safety concerns, accessibility needs, and other situations that can be difficult to plan for alone.

We focus on creating plans that are realistic, usable, and built around the people who will actually rely on them.

Consulting and planning services may include:

  • Emergency medical response planning

  • Event safety planning

  • Emergency action plans

  • Medical staffing recommendations

  • First aid and AED planning

  • Emergency communication procedures

  • Accessibility and disability-inclusive planning

  • Sensory and low-stimulation spaces

  • Trauma-informed response planning

  • Medical supply and equipment recommendations

  • Policy and procedure review

  • Staff roles, responsibilities, and escalation plans

Services can be customized based on your organization, event, space, or community.

What We Can Help With

A plan is only useful if people can actually follow it.

We consider how factors like accessibility, communication, staffing, environment, patient autonomy, trauma, and barriers to emergency services may affect what happens during a real incident.

Our goal is to help you create systems that are clear, practical, inclusive, and appropriate for the resources you actually have.

Plans That Work in the Real World

Depending on the project, consulting may include:

  • Virtual or in-person consultation

  • Site or event walkthroughs

  • Existing plan or policy review

  • Written recommendations

  • Development of new emergency procedures

  • Staff training and education

  • Ongoing planning support
