Join MHP on October 21 at the Great California ShakeOut!  The Great California ShakeOut is the largest earthquake drill ever, organized to educate the public about emergency management during a large earthquake.  

The preparations we make now, before a big earthquake, will determine what our lives will be like, and how our businesses will continue to operate, after the earthquake.  Make a difference at your business by registering to be a part of the ShakeOut here!    

MHP offers Business Continuity Planning services, which will significantly increase your ability to respond and recover quickly after a disaster.   We work with businesses in determining risk factors including building configuration, structural systems and age of construction.  We also identify site hazards such as proximity to active seismic faults, liquefiable soils, landslide potential, tsunami run-up potential; and site security measures such as stand-off distance, vulnerability of structural and non-structural elements, and access to or security of infrastructure.   To find out more about MHP’s Business Continuity Planning (BCP) services, contact us at jbook@mhpse.com.
