Response Management

Recognized leader in response management and preparedness services

Responding to hundreds of emergency notifications each year, the O’Brien’s team has developed expertise unlike any other response management firm in the world. Our Incident Management and Spill Response Team have been involved in some of the largest, most complex emergencies involving natural disasters, fires, civil disturbances and pollution responses and have worked with government and industrial response teams at the local, state, federal and international levels. We are proponents of and use the NIMS Incident Command System during actual emergencies.

O’Brien’s is distinguished from other companies in this field by our actual emergency management response experience which is unparalleled anywhere in the world. We offer hands-on experience with strategic and tactical decision making, as opposed to equipment providers and response contractors that act under the direction of others.
