About Our Company

Complete EM's founder, George Whitney, is a former local, state and federal emergency manager who first responded to the Great Midwest Floods in 1993 as a damage verification specialist for FEMA. He later managed California's State Emergency Operations Center and also served two years there as acting Undersecretary and Deputy Director for Plans Operations and Training. He also served as a UASI county emergency management director, chair of the International Association of Emergency Manager's Standards and Best Practices Committee, and as an assessor, trainer, team leader and standards technical committee chair for the Emergency Management Accreditation Program.
During his 30-year career, George has grown more and more interested in the intersection of effective program management and technology. In 2013, he began an intensive process with long-time colleagues to define emergency management success, develop the methodologies and tools necessary to efficiently accomplish it, and then publish it as Complete EM. Today, George leads a team of individuals at Complete EM dedicated to helping emergency managers not only survive but thrive. Most days he can be found taking calls or logged into Complete EM's admin module chatting with users who have questions about applying emergency management standards and best practices.

Another county off to a great start

No county emergency management code? Few stakeholders rallying around a shared EM program vision? Little executive support? No problem.

With Complete EM, emergency managers at all levels of government or in the private sector quickly assess their programs, engage stakeholders in team-building activities, and demonstrate the accomplishment, vision and trust necessary to secure persistent executive support.

Within days, a basic program assessments lead to a shared set of program priorities, then a strategic plan, annual work plans, and numerous projects that yield vital planning, training exercise and other outcomes. In 3-5 years with minimal effort, EMs starting from scratch establish programs that not only exhibit use of the latest standards and best practices, but that demonstrate success and what it means to be ready.

And while this work us underway, EMs are able to monitor and, if they wish, share their program management dashboard with whomever they want -- comprehensive EM program management summarized on single page dashboard!
