Testimonials
What our Resilience Innovators are saying...
Incident Commander & Associate Professor of Cybersecurity | Utica College
“The work of emergency management, and especially disaster communication, has been rapidly evolving. The way that Epicenter Innovation connects traditional marketing, risk communication, and disaster principles is a significant step forward in creating stronger relationships and building trust with the public. Even more valuable is the opportunities they provide to connect, discuss, and learn with other practitioners who truly care about building a stronger, more resilient nation.”
LabX Program Officer | National Academy of Sciences
“Working with Epicenter Innovation has been an amazing experience. They were able to take our initial vision and turn it into a project we never could have imagined on our own. Their team is both friendly and professional and I highly recommend anyone operating in the resilience space to consider working with them.”

Resilience Innovators
Build Resilience. Drive Innovation. Save Lives.
The best place to start is with an EDSU Zero Dollar Standby Contract. With this standby contract in place, your organization will know exactly who to call for which resources and lock in preferred pricing for the duration of your contract. It’s easy to set up & usually only takes a few minutes – once this contract is in place you’ll have access to the entire Epicenter Deployment Support Unit bench and, sometimes, even get preferred pricing on other services too through a Master Services Agreement. And, yes, it really is zero dollars!
Not sure if EDSU is right for you? We’re happy to talk through our capabilities with your leadership team.

Why Assessments Matter for Emergency Managers
Knowing who I am is fine and good but it doesn’t serve me when that knowledge is in a vacuum; I have to share those results with the people around me so that I and they can set me up for success.
