HOSPITALITY, CRUISE & MAJOR VENUES
Resorts, casinos, cruise ships, terminals and arenas carry the risk profile of a small city on any given night. ERGSS helps operators plan for the worst day before it arrives, and stay ready through openings, peak seasons and major events.
Our cadre has led incident command at large-scale events and disasters, trained security and operations teams in the Incident Command System, and built HSEEP-compliant exercise programs for airports, utilities and critical infrastructure. We bring that experience to properties where thousands of guests depend on staff knowing exactly what to do.
Open ready, operate ready, and recover fast.

TESTIMONIALS

I was impressed with the depth of knowledge ERGGS brought to my organization as they assisted in the development of diverse projects for an international airport. From Pandemic Planning (the first of such at any international airport), to COOP planning to the effective management of an EOC, the staff did a tremendous job.

We recently spent some time with one of the ERGSS Consultants on a project to create an executable Continuity of Operations Plan for our company and were greatly pleased with the knowledge he possessed and the ability to provide an easy and valid solution to our concerns.

Over the course of several years we have worked closely with ERGSS to provide fire and EMS training to the Charlevoix Area. During that time the ERGSS staff have always shown a great deal of professionalism and subject matter expertise. We look forward to working with them on future projects for a long time to come.
