COLUMBIA, MD - January 2, 2010 - All Hands Consulting (www.AllHandsConsulting.com), a emergency management and homeland security consulting firm, announced that it has been selected by the NY-NJ-CT-PA Regional Catastrophic Planning Team (RCPT), co-chaired by the New York City and Northern New Jersey Urban Area Working Groups, to provide ongoing services related to regional catastrophic planning.

The Indefinite Quantity Delivery Contract is for Professional Emergency Planning Services. "All Hands is excited about this opportunity to support the nation's largest metropolitan area," said All Hands President Steve Davis. "AHC has assembled a team that has incredible expertise in comprehensive emergency management, catastrophic event planning, training and exercises and real-life disaster management, as well as homeland security."

The regional project site for New York City and Northern New Jersey also includes Long Island, several New York counties, and portions of Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Members of the RCPT represent the interests of stakeholders throughout their communities, including counties, cities, businesses, non-profit groups and volunteer efforts. One of the primary objectives of the RCPT is to create a foundation for ongoing regional collaboration in emergency management issues.
