The Emergency Preparedness Network is a premier resource dedicated to helping individuals, organizations, and communities across North America prepare for and respond to natural disasters. Led by expert consultant Paul Dutton, we provide strategic guidance, training, and interagency facilitation to ensure safety and resilience.

With over 18 years of experience in Community Emergency Management and 37 years of business ownership, Paul consults for organizations to integrate emergency plans, facilitate strategies between response parties like fire and police, and conduct drills using the Incident Command System (ICS).

Yes. Paul facilitates community service on behalf of developers and property managers, speaking to new divisions and communities about the importance of localized preparedness and how they can build a 'Whole Community' safety net.

Paul has responded first-hand to multiple major events, including the Station Fire, Sayre Fire, Sylmar Fire, and more. He has served as a CERT Coordinator, working on the front lines with Sheriff and Fire departments to integrate community volunteers into professional response plans.

The window between billion-dollar climate disasters has shrunk from 82 days in the 1980s to just 16 days recently. With the surge in extreme weather and aggressive wildfires, local emergency services are often stretched thin, making personal and organizational preparedness the most critical line of defense.
