AZ Dept of Health

What AZ Dept of Health does

Coordinated Consulting Services (CCS) is a Beaverton, Oregon-based emergency preparedness and business continuity consulting firm founded in 2017 by April Lawless. The firm delivers customized planning, training, exercise facilitation, disaster recovery support, grants management, and strategic planning services to state, county, and local government agencies, healthcare coalitions, K-12 education systems, and nonprofit organizations across the Pacific Northwest, Arizona, Nevada, and nationally. Notable engagements include multi-year technical assistance work for NACCHO spanning 21 jurisdictions, statewide COOP/EOP development for the Arizona Department of Education, Crisis Standards of Care workshops for AzCHER, and partnership-based work with Nevada DHHS and the Cities Readiness Initiative in the Portland metro region. CCS is structured as an LLC, certified as a Small Business, MWBE, and Emerging Small Business in Oregon, enabling access to government set-aside contracts.

The firm operates without a proprietary software platform, delivering services through a team of approximately nine core professionals (CEO, senior planners, analysts, and subject matter specialists) augmented by specialist consultants. Core intellectual property centers on consulting methodologies rather than technology: a Whole Community Planning Approach, a Four-Step Collaborative Planning Process, and a structured Business Impact Analysis framework. The firm's downloadable Business Continuity Plan template (Word) and BCP Contacts Toolkit (Excel) are the only packaged tooling. Revenue is generated through professional services fees on multi-year, project-scoped contracts priced via RFP response and direct negotiation; no public pricing or rate cards exist, and no revenue figures are disclosed.
