Our founder, Dr. Maurice A. Ramirez advises clients, “Play the way you will play.” High Alert International and the High Alert family of companies do just that - we play the way we will play. We use the same Incident Command System (ICS) employed by emergency management professionals to manage disasters to organize our management team and to ensure corporate business continuity across all phases of the disaster life cycle – preparedness, planning, response, and recovery.
For each of its clients, High Alert International crafts “Unexpected Solutions for the Unexpected”. This goal is achieved by directing and coordinating the operations of each corporate division:

High Alert Critical Response - provides immediate disaster response services to clients in the first hours to days following a disaster.
High Alert Consulting – the “think tank” of High Alert International, providing your organization with the experts and the education to plan for and navigate all phases of the disaster life cycle.
High Alert Technologies - provides technological solutions to enable your company to plan for, respond to, and recovery from emergency and disaster events.
High Alert Publishing - specializes in publishing books on medicine, healthcare, disaster planning and preparedness, business continuity, and technologies associated with emergency and disaster management.
High Alert Institute - provides economical solutions to training in physical and behavioral healthcare, disaster planning and response, and technical skills necessary to manage emergency and disaster event.
High Alert Recovery Foundation - the newest member of the High Alert International family, in partnership with the Rene Godefroy Foundation, stemming from the understanding that the hardest part of a disaster is frequently not the disaster itself but recovering from the economic and emotional devastation that follows.
