Its all about the USI commitment to 'Making Lives Better."

The Human Safety and Security Program offers an unprecedented array of services and was developed to help people and organizations plan and prepare for emergencies. The program consists of a four-step approach:

1)   The assignment of a dedicated Human Safety and Security Team, comprised of specialists that complement the clients needs;
2)   An evaluation of the environments vulnerability to threats, such as fire, flood, crime, bio-hazard, or terrorism;
3)   The development of an emergency plan, which contains a detailed analysis of prevention, detection, notification, communication, evacuation, response and recovery measures, and;
4)   Implementation of the preparedness and emergency plans, including training and ongoing support.

In the current environment, prevention, planning and preparedness is critical to survival in the event of an emergency," says Alan C. Breindel, President and Co-Founder of Secure Defense Systems, Inc. The Human Safety and Security Program will set a new standard in life safety and security for our clients. Considering the speed with which a threat can become an emergency, preparedness is no longer an option -- it is a necessity."
