Every public and private organization can be the target of hostile litigation. This is especially true in the area of emergency preparedness and crisis management. Uncertain and unsatisfactory outcomes often become the topic of media attention and often result in lawsuits by persons hoping to exploit the situation for personnel gain. Many administrators and policy makers have never considered how these legal attacks are organized and to how to defend against them. It is no secret that a certain group of civil litigators specialize in these types of lawsuits. To help their efforts they rely on persons with public safety and crisis management experience. The first step the litigant will take is carefully evaluating a target organization. Do they have any written procedures, what type of training have they conducted, and were they prepared to respond to this type of incident are questions that are commonly asked. Most of these types of questions can be answered using public information sources. By the time a critical incident is litigated your opponents will have collected a great deal of information that may be useful in attacking you. The best solution is to turn
the tables on your attacker using their methods. LECMgt represents a

management professionals who can help you evaluate your critical incident
and organize your defense. LECMgt can work with your legal counsel to
