OUR MISSION

Summit Risk and Resilience Services delivers comprehensive, all-hazards risk management strategies to protect critical infrastructure, safeguard community lifelines, and ensure organizations can continue to operate in the face of disruptions.

By addressing today’s threats and preparing for tomorrow’s uncertainties, we help build stronger, more resilient organizations and communities, securing the resources people rely on—now and into the future.

CORE VALUES:

Knowledge Transfer

We prioritize knowledge transfer, program development, and institutional resilience. Our goal is not to make clients dependent upon us, but to leave them stronger, more capable, and better prepared to manage risk independently. This commitment sets us apart in a market often dominated by long-term consulting embeds.

Independent Consultant Services

As independent consultants, our services are not tied to manufacturers, vendors, or specific products. We are agnostic in our approach, and our recommendations are driven by threats, hazards, client needs, and vulnerabilities, not sales incentives. Our recommendations are rooted in sound risk management principles, cost-benefit analysis, and return on investment. This ensures our clients’ interests are always our top priority—not those of third-party equipment sellers.

Innovation

Innovation is essential to staying ahead of evolving threats in today’s complex risk environment. At SUMMIT Risk and Resilience Services, we embrace forward-thinking strategies, technologies, and methodologies to address all-hazards risk with agility and precision. By integrating innovation into every aspect of our work, we help clients build adaptive, resilient systems that can withstand tomorrow’s challenges—not just today’s risks.
