What The Resiliency Initiative does

The Resiliency Initiative (TRI) is a certified women-owned boutique consulting firm that delivers crisis management, business continuity, emergency preparedness, hazard mitigation, and whole-community resilience services to government agencies (federal, state, county, municipal, tribal), Fortune 500 corporations, higher education institutions, nonprofits, and faith-based organizations. Its core offerings are organized into five service lines — Crisis & Continuity Planning, Program Development, Assessments & Reports, Training & Exercises, and Whole Community Integration — supplemented by the Resiliency Academy curriculum (a two-day workshop awarding 16 CEUs recognized by IAEM, DRI International, and ASIS International) and a productized e-commerce catalog of DIY templates, playbooks, and bundles for the small-business, nonprofit, and faith-based segments.

Revenue is generated through four distinct streams: professional consulting engagements (often structured as multi-year state agency contracts, e.g., the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Emergency Management), managed-services retainers (Concierge Incident Support at $2,500/month or $28,000/year, with up to 10 hours of real-time crisis coaching monthly), the Resiliency Academy training program delivered in-person, virtually, or on-site, and one-time product sales via the company's online store (individual templates priced $25–$100, themed bundles at $1,500, and 5-hour consulting bundles at $750). Underlying technology consists of the proprietary Resiliency Academy curriculum, after-action report templates, crisis-management playbooks, and the Preston Resiliency App for mobile access to emergency procedures; TRI holds WBE and WOSB certifications that provide procurement advantages on federal and state set-aside contracts.

TRI operates from three offices — Los Angeles (Southern California, opened at founding), Redding (Northern California, September 2025), and Rogers, Arkansas (Northwest Arkansas, May 2025) — and pursues an enterprise field-sales motion with government and Fortune 500 clients while running an event-driven thought leadership and direct-to-consumer e-commerce motion for smaller segments. A 501(c)(3) affiliate, The Resiliency Institute, was launched in October 2025 to extend the firm's mission into community programming. In April 2026, Founder Andrea Davis transitioned the CEO role to Faith Newton.
