A (CRA) is the foundation of an effective Community Risk Reduction (CRR) program, shifting the focus from reacting to disasters toward anticipating and preventing them.

We deliver comprehensive and actionable assessments, including:

• Hazard Identification: Pinpointing risks from natural disasters, technological incidents, and human-caused threats.
• Vulnerability Analysis: Evaluating community susceptibility through demographics, infrastructure, and economic factors.
• Risk Analysis: Measuring the probability and potential impact of hazards on lives, property, and the local economy.
• Capacity Assessment: Reviewing the effectiveness of existing resources, systems, and response capabilities.

By partnering with Aman for (CRA) services, communities gain a forward-thinking, technology-driven strategy that enhances safety, resilience, and preparedness for the challenges ahead.

Fire Station Design

Operationalizing the Response:

We specialize in the highly technical discipline of fire station design, where architecture and engineering converge to support the unique operational needs and long-term health of first responders. Our approach balances creative architectural solutions with mission-critical requirements for durability, resilience, and adaptability. Every design is developed with a clear focus on functionality, longevity, and the ability to withstand the demands of daily use and extreme conditions. Our Fire Station Design Services Include:

By combining engineering precision with human cantered design, Aman delivers fire stations that not only operate efficiently but also enhance the safety, health, and morale of the personnel who rely on them.

Risk Mitigation Plan

From Assessment to Action:

we transform the findings of a Community Risk Assessment (CRA) into actionable strategies through the development of a Risk Mitigation Plan. This plan provides a structured, practical roadmap to prevent or reduce the impact of identified hazards, ensuring that communities and organizations move from understanding risks to actively managing them. Our methodology includes:

• Community-Level Strategy: Using the Five E’s of Community Risk Reduction Education, Engineering, Enforcement, Economic Incentives, and Emergency Response, we establish a long-term, multi-faceted framework for prevention at the community scale. This structured approach ensures hazards are addressed holistically, with sustainability and resilience in mind.
• Operational-Level Tactics: We also apply a five-step, real-time hazard mitigation process for dynamic operational environments, such as fire ground operations. This includes situational awareness, hazard assessment, hazard control, decision-making on risk acceptance or rejection, and continuous evaluation.

By bridging both strategic and tactical perspectives, Aman provides clients with comprehensive, expert-driven risk management solutions. Our plans empower stakeholders to proactively reduce hazards at the community level while equipping first responders and operators with the tools to manage risks in real time.

Evacuation Strategy

A Plan for Every Occupant:

We design Evacuation Strategies that form a critical part of any life safety program. Each plan is carefully tailored to the unique layout, function, and occupancy of a building, ensuring safe, efficient, and orderly evacuation during an emergency. Whether for a high-rise office tower, an industrial warehouse, or a hospital, our strategies are developed to address the specific challenges of each environment. Our Evacuation Strategies Include:

• Safe Routes & Assembly Points: Identifying at least two clear escape routes from every occupied space, ensuring paths are kept free of obstructions, and designating safe outdoor assembly areas.
• Human Centred Planning: Assigning trained individuals to assist occupants with special needs, including children, the elderly, and those with limited mobility.
• Clear Communication: Incorporating visual aids such as color-coded floor plans and pictographs to support all occupants, including non-English speakers, in stressful situations.
• Training & Drills: Conducting regular exercises so that occupants, visitors, and staff are familiar with procedures and can respond quickly under pressure.

By combining technical precision with human-focused design, Aman delivers evacuation strategies that are practical, adaptable, and tailored to the risks of each facility, not a one-size-fits-all solution. The result is a robust, flexible plan that protects lives while maintaining order during emergencies.

Emergency Response Plan (ERP)

The Full Spectrum Framework:

We develop Emergency Response Plans (ERPs) that go beyond evacuation procedures to provide a comprehensive, all-hazards framework for protecting life, health, and property. Unlike a simple evacuation strategy, an ERP addresses the full lifecycle of an emergency covering immediate response actions, coordination during the event, and long-term recovery efforts. Components of ERP Include:

• Defined Roles and Responsibilities: Establishing emergency response teams with clear functions, including Incident Commanders, Communication Commanders, and Route Guides.
• Communication Protocols: Creating reliable systems to notify both internal staff and external responders, with procedures for sharing critical details such as business name, address, and the nature of the emergency.
• Emergency Procedures: Developing tailored responses for a wide range of events, including fires, medical emergencies, hazardous material incidents, and natural disasters.
• Recovery and Continuity: Integrating strategies for post-incident recovery, including damage assessments, insurance documentation, financial tracking, and employee support.

With Aman as your partner, emergency planning evolves from a regulatory obligation into a competitive advantage that protects people, assets, and the future of your business.

Peer Review

Ensuring Unbiased Excellence

we provide Independent Peer Review services as a critical quality assurance measure that delivers an unbiased evaluation of a project’s fire safety or engineering process. This service offers confidence to all stakeholders including building owners, architects, and authorities having jurisdiction by independently verifying the quality, accuracy, and compliance of the work.

The scope of a peer review can be comprehensive, covering the entire project from design objectives and compliance with legislation to the suitability of methods and assumptions. It can also be targeted to specific elements such as calculations, modeling, or conclusions. Our process involves a detailed examination of design plans, risk assessments, and fire protection strategies to identify potential flaws, oversights, or areas for improvement that may not have been identified during the initial design stage.

Aman’s expertise goes beyond identifying technical errors. We specialize in recognizing potential ambiguities in project documentation that could cause misinterpretations or costly delays during construction. By clarifying these issues, we ensure that all parties share a precise understanding of the design intent and its implications for buildability and commissioning.

Through this process, we help clients avoid future risks, enhance project clarity, and achieve delivery to the highest industry standards.
