Washington County — widely known as South County — stretches from the Connecticut border at Westerly to the shores of Narragansett Bay in North Kingstown. It's a region defined by its coastline, and that geography carries real emergency management consequences. Coastal towns like Narragansett and Charlestown face storm surge risk that demands detailed evacuation planning and coordination with state and local emergency management agencies.
The University of Rhode Island's main campus in South Kingstown adds a large, transient student population to the county's emergency calculus. Westerly Hospital, the South County Health system, and dozens of assisted living and senior care facilities throughout the county require rigorous life-safety planning that goes well beyond a basic evacuation map.

We don't parachute in — we're part of the region, and it shows in the quality of our work.
