Could Your State House 20,000 Displaced Residents in 72 Hours?
The State Disaster Readiness Initiative (SDRI) is a complimentary executive workshop that brings state emergency management leaders and key stakeholders together to evaluate current disaster housing readiness, identify capability gaps, and start building a practical roadmap for preparedness before disaster strikes.
This is a strategic working session, not a sales presentation.
What Every Workshop Delivers
Workshop Objectives
A half day that helps your leadership answer the questions that decide how the first 72 hours actually unfold.
States receive strategic value with no obligation. LCI becomes the trusted facilitator rather than another contractor.
Built for the People Who Own the First 72 Hours
SDRI works best when the agencies and partners responsible for housing decisions sit at the same table.
Three Products, One Clear Path to Readiness
Each product leads naturally into the next, moving your state from first awareness to a fully executed disaster housing strategy.
State Disaster Housing & Readiness Workshop
A working session that brings leaders and stakeholders together to evaluate readiness today, surface capability gaps, and begin a practical roadmap. States receive real strategic value with no obligation, and LCI earns the role of trusted facilitator rather than another contractor.
What It Answers
- Are we prepared today, and what breaks in the first 72 hours?
- Who owns housing, and where are the bottlenecks?
- What resources and partnerships already exist or are missing?
You Walk Away With
- Executive Readiness Summary
- Key Risks and Immediate Opportunities
- Priority Recommendations and an Initial Roadmap
State Disaster Housing Readiness Assessment
Once leadership sees the value, the logical next step is a comprehensive review of the state's disaster housing ecosystem. Think of it like a cybersecurity assessment. Instead of asking whether you can stop an attack, the question becomes whether you can house 20,000 displaced residents within 72 hours.
Assessment Areas
- Governance, incident command, roles and responsibilities
- Housing resources, from hotels and apartments to modular and accessible options
- Vendor network, surge capacity and mutual aid agreements
- Logistics, procurement, communications and workforce
- Short and long-term recovery planning
Deliverables
- Executive Assessment Report
- Preparedness Scorecard and Gap Analysis
- Risk Matrix and Priority Roadmap
- 90-Day Action Plan and 12-Month Recommendations
State Disaster Housing Preparedness Blueprint
This is where LCI shifts from facilitator to strategic partner. The Blueprint is a customized, state-specific strategy that establishes how the state will prepare for, respond to, and recover from future disasters.
What It Contains
- Governance framework across agencies, private sector and NGOs
- Housing strategy by disaster type, plus responder and workforce housing
- Operational playbooks for each major hazard
- A full vendor ecosystem, from transportation to construction
- A deployment framework from 24 hours to 30-day recovery
Deliverables
- State Disaster Housing Blueprint
- Executive Briefing and Implementation Roadmap
- Presentation to State Leadership
- Annual Review Framework and Exercise Plan
A Plan for Every Hazard
The Blueprint includes hazard-specific playbooks so response is decided long before the event, not during it.
