Hibernation
Securing essential personnel through elevated periods of risk.
Hibernation is a strategic response when the operational environment becomes too unsafe for normal activities to continue. This phase involves suspending most activities while ensuring the safety and security of staff through secure locations, minimising movements, and maintaining communication.
Grid North assist can assist with the production of crisis plans that outline clear protocols for staff safety during a hibernation period, additionally, we can be on hand working to ensure data security, coordination with local and international partners, intelligence analysis and operational support until the conditions improve.
Relocation
A Cool headed partner in times of crisis
Relocation is a strategic measure when the operational environment becomes too dangerous, necessitating the temporary movement of staff to a safer location.
The key to a successful relocation is prior planning, Grid North are on hand to assist with a solid operational advisory on the process of withdrawal from a high-risk area to a predetermined secure site, ensuring continuity of operations and the safety of personnel.
We work with organisations in advance to plan secondary locations and set trigger points for a relocation with adequate facilities during a crisis, but are also able to arrange secure transportation, staff logistics and the maintaining of regular contact with HQ, communities and partner organisations at short notice should you or your organisation not have measures in place already.
Repatriation
Strategic Planning for Secure Return
Often the phase of the last resort, activated when relocation and hibernation are insufficient to ensure staff safety, and driven by factors such as political instability, imminent threats of violence, or natural disasters.
Grid North work with clients to ensure, when the worst happens, plans and processes are on hand, through comprehensive contingency efforts that include clear instructions to follow for the safe and orderly return of staff.
By leveraging our network and geo-political knowledge, we work in advance to secure logistical support structures are understood and develop key actor / regional analysis to create a network ready to support evacuations.
We assess threats, create trigger points, brief teams, plan, test and evaluate.
This is best done in advance, rather than after the crisis has occurred!
We can also ensure that all staff are first aid trained and have access to medical equipment to support themselves in an escalating situation.
Securing your information, we also assist in planning for destruction or extraction of organisational assets and data during a crisis and work organisationally to put a plan in place for the continuation of critical operations remotely or through local partners.
Critical Missions in Unstable Environments
Critical missions that require precision, expertise, and a deep understanding of crisis management. At Grid North, our team is primarily composed of former military personnel who bring extensive experience in dealing with government and military operations during times of crisis.
In recent times, such as during the Afghanistan crisis and evacuations in Africa, agencies have been caught unaware and struggled to provide adequate support to staff.
This is where we come in. Our team is well-practiced in hostile environment operations and can facilitate planning for the extraction of key personnel safely and efficiently.
Leveraging our strong ties with governmental and military entities, we can potentially deploy during a crisis as a liaison to ensure safe and efficient evacuation from unstable environments.
With Grid North, you can trust that our team will handle every aspect of your evacuation needs, providing the highest level of security and care.
