Newport County is unlike any other county in New England. Aquidneck Island — home to Newport, Middletown, and Portsmouth — is connected to the mainland by a handful of bridges, which creates a genuine chokepoint in any major evacuation scenario. When a major storm threatens, the logistics of moving residents, hotel guests, and hospital patients off the island require careful pre-planning that can't be improvised in the moment.
Newport's $2 billion tourism economy, the Naval Station Newport, Salve Regina University, and Newport Hospital all bring distinct preparedness requirements together in a compact geographic footprint. A hurricane, a utility failure, or a mass-casualty event in downtown Newport would affect all of these stakeholders simultaneously, requiring coordinated response plans across sectors.

Our consultants work closely with local emergency management directors and community leaders to build programs that are realistic, coordinated, and ready to execute when it matters.
