BAOBAB CRISIS COMMAND
When Every Second Counts
Most disaster response begins once the danger has passed. Ours begins the moment the incident occurs.
Risk Planning Only Goes So Far
Lodges across Sub-Saharan Africa have been devastated by natural disasters – not because the risk wasn’t known, but because no one was coordinating the response while it was actively happening.
Baobab Crisis Command closes the gap between the assessment that came before and the cleanup that comes after – coordination during the event itself.
Scope of Response
Guest & Staff Relocation
Coordinated relocation of guests and staff to safe accommodation for the duration of the incident.
JOC Coordination
Establishment and running of a Joint Operations Centre for the duration of the incident.
Incident Command
Formal incident command structure, advice and support to lodge and property management.
Government & DIRCO Liaison
Coordination with governmental institutions and DIRCO where the incident requires national or cross-border engagement.
Flood & Crisis Relief
On-the-ground relief coordination from the point the incident occurs, not once cleanup begins.
NPO & NGO Coordination
Coordination with humanitarian and relief organisations operating in the affected area.
Mass Casualty Triage
Triage and medical coordination where an incident produces multiple casualties.
Infrastructural Support
Support within the limitations of the policy value, focused on survivability for the duration of the crisis.
Two Scopes, One Command Structure
Crisis Command covers two related but distinct scopes: response to natural disasters as they occur, and the business continuity planning and support that keeps an operation viable through and after a crisis. Both draw on the same command structure and the same team.
More Than Ninety Years of Combined Field Experience
Managerial experience in live deployments, search and rescue operations, national resilience councils, and disaster management at an international scale.
Geographic Scope
Baobab Crisis Command is offered exclusively within Sub-Saharan Africa.
Supporting Capabilities
A deployment draws on the rest of the business – aerial mapping for search and access routes, on-site medical scaled up to a full response vehicle, emergency courier of critical medication, and hospital admission already arranged in advance.
Coordination Starts the Moment It Happens
Available as an add-on once a full risk assessment has been completed.
