The DeAngelo Group | Preparedness. Continuity. Resilience.

Why I started The DeAngelo Group.

I have spent more than two decades in emergency management and public safety—inside emergency operations centers, leading Planning Sections, deploying to disasters, supporting major events, and working alongside local, county, state, federal, and private-sector partners.

I have seen what happens when preparation is done well: leadership has a common operating picture, people understand their roles, information moves, and decisions get made with purpose. I have also seen good people forced to figure those things out in the middle of an incident.

I started The DeAngelo Group to bring that experience to organizations before the emergency—so the plans make sense, the gaps are understood, and the people responsible for carrying them out are ready to do their jobs.

Good emergency management comes down to knowing the risk, having a plan that works, and making sure people know what to do when it matters.

Experience in practice.

The work changes by environment. The expectation does not: understand the operation, know the risk, coordinate the right people, and have a plan that can actually be used.

Major Events & Venue Operations

Large events demand more than security at the gate. We look at command and control, credentialing, crowd movement, medical readiness, transportation, protective movements, communications, and the contingencies that keep the operation moving.

Executive and dignitary protection professional

Executive & Dignitary Protection

Advance work, movement planning, route and venue coordination, access control, liaison, arrival and departure management, and contingency planning—handled professionally and without turning the operation into a spectacle.

Facility risk and vulnerability assessment in progress

Risk & Vulnerability Assessments

We walk the facility, look at how people actually move through it, review access control, surveillance, perimeter conditions, life-safety systems, emergency procedures, critical dependencies, and the gaps that matter. The end product is not just a list of findings—it is a clear path to improvement.

HSEEP emergency management exercise in progress

HSEEP Exercises & Operational Validation

Tabletop, functional, and full-scale exercises built around realistic objectives, injects, evaluation criteria, and corrective actions. The purpose is to test plans, challenge decision-making, identify gaps, and improve performance before the real incident does it for you.

What we actually help you solve.

Most organizations do not need another binder or another assessment that ends with a list of findings. They need to know where the real gaps are, what to fix first, and how to make the plan work with the people who will actually carry it out.

Prepare the organization.

Emergency plans, continuity plans, crisis procedures, EOC readiness, critical-function priorities, succession, communications, and recovery strategy—built around how your organization actually operates.
