What We Deliver. Spoken in Your Language.
Project and need-based services informed by ALIGN at every stage of approach and delivery. Work items that appear in RFPs, in procurement language, and in program requirements across government and regulated industries.
Diagnostic, evidence-based, and built to function under real conditions.
ALIGN is the methodology. These are the specific capabilities Sentinel brings to every engagement: the work items that appear in RFPs, in procurement language, and in program requirements across government and regulated industries. Every capability below is delivered through the ALIGN framework, which means the work is diagnostic, evidence-based, and built to function under real conditions rather than merely satisfying a review cycle.
Readiness Assessment & Strategic Planning
Data-driven evaluations that surface organizational vulnerabilities, assess program maturity, and translate findings into prioritized, executable strategy aligned to operational realities and stakeholder dependencies. Delivered as a standalone engagement or as the foundation for a longer program of work.
Emergency Operations Planning (EOP / COOP / HMP)
Development, update, and validation of all-hazards emergency operations plans, continuity of operations plans, and hazard mitigation plans. All products are compliant with applicable standards (CPG 101, FEMA guidance, CMS Emergency Preparedness Rule, AWIA) and operationally grounded. Plans built to function in activation, not just in review.
Preparedness Program Design & Support
End-to-end development and refinement of preparedness programs, frameworks, and supporting guidance. Products are designed to be not only compliant, but actionable, coordinated, and sustainable. Includes multi-year training and exercise plan (MYTEP) development, grant-supported program management, and stakeholder coordination across ESF structures and whole-community partners.
Exercise Design, Conduct & Evaluation
HSEEP-aligned exercise programs designed to validate plans, test decision-making under pressure, and produce defensible after-action findings, ranging from discussion-based seminars and tabletop exercises through functional and full-scale events. Exercises scaled to your program's objectives and organizational capacity. Evaluators observe; they do not merely facilitate.
Risk Assessment & Audit Support
Expert support for risk assessment cycles across government and regulated industry. For state and local jurisdictions, this includes Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) and Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR) cycles, aligned to FEMA's current methodology with capability targets tied to realistic operational scenarios. For healthcare organizations, Hazard Vulnerability Analysis (HVA) required under CMS and Joint Commission standards. For critical infrastructure and enterprise clients, support for industry-standard compliance risk assessments including those aligned to ISO 27001 information security management frameworks, AWIA Section 2013 risk and resilience assessments, and sector-specific regulatory requirements. Every assessment is structured to produce findings an organization can actually act on.
Public-Private Partnership Development
Structured facilitation and coordination between government and private sector stakeholders to align roles, responsibilities, and resources before they are needed. Built on direct experience developing national public-private partnership frameworks at FEMA, applied to the operational realities of regional and community-level coordination.
Fractional Chief Resilience Officer (Fractional CRO)
For organizations navigating growth, transition, or critical gaps in resilience leadership, Sentinel offers embedded expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire. This engagement builds your program your way: structured around your priorities, scaled to your timeline, and designed to outlast the engagement itself. Dedicated support to build, scale, or fix enterprise-wide resilience and continuity programs, with the institutional knowledge and cross-sector fluency that only comes from decades at the intersection of government doctrine and organizational operations.
Every ALIGN Engagement is built around a defined methodology, not a deliverable. See what ALIGN can build for your organization.

The vocabulary changes. The threats differ. The underlying challenge of making coordinated decisions under stress does not.
State, Local, Tribal & Territorial Emergency Management
Emergency operations plans, hazard mitigation plans, continuity of operations, THIRA/SPR cycles, HSEEP-aligned exercise programs, and grant program support, all built to function when activation is real rather than merely satisfying review.
Health Systems & Healthcare Coalitions
Emergency preparedness programs that meet CMS Emergency Preparedness Rule and Joint Commission standards while genuinely strengthening the organization's ability to operate during surge, infrastructure failure, or public health emergency.
Utilities, Water Systems & Critical Infrastructure
Operational resilience and crisis management that satisfies regulatory requirements (NERC CIP, AWIA, TSA Pipeline Security), while building the cross-functional decision capability that keeps the lights on, the water flowing, and the system standing during black-sky events.
Business Continuity & Enterprise Resilience
Crisis management, business continuity, and enterprise risk programs for organizations whose operations cannot be allowed to fail. Federal-grade doctrine applied to commercial scale, supply-chain integrity, and brand-critical incident response.
