Washington, DC, July 21, 2026 — RockDove Solutions and PreparedEx today announced a strategic partnership that will combine crisis management technology with consulting, training, tabletop exercises and simulations to help organizations strengthen and validate their crisis response capabilities.

The partnership combines RockDove’s cloud-based crisis management technology with PreparedEx’s expertise in risk and threat assessments, crisis planning, and tabletop exercises that test and strengthen organizational preparedness. Together, the companies will provide organizations with a fully integrated approach to developing plans, preparing teams, testing response capabilities and identifying opportunities for improvement.

Through the partnership, organizations can connect crisis planning and exercises with the workflows, communications and situational awareness tools needed during an actual event. This helps teams move beyond creating plans to ensuring those plans can be executed effectively under pressure.

The combined capabilities will help organizations:

• Develop and validate crisis response plans
• Conduct realistic tabletop and functional exercises
• Strengthen executive decision-making and team coordination
• Improve crisis communications and situational awareness
• Identify operational and communication gaps before an incident
• Turn lessons learned into corrective actions and program improvements

“RockDove’s vision has always extended beyond technology,” said Christopher Britton, General Manager and COO of RockDove Solutions. “Organizations need trained teams, tested plans and experienced guidance, along with technology that supports them when an incident occurs. PreparedEx brings deep expertise in planning and exercises that complements the In Case of Crisis platform and helps organizations build greater confidence in their ability to respond.”

PreparedEx works with organizations around the world to strengthen crisis preparedness through customized consulting, training, tabletop exercises and simulations. Its programs help leaders and response teams practice decision-making, evaluate plans and improve coordination before an actual crisis occurs.

“Optimal crisis preparedness is based on careful planning, practice, and continuous improvement,” said Rob Burton, Co-Founder and CEO of PreparedEx. “Our partnership with RockDove connects our consulting and exercise expertise with a crisis management platform that supports organizations throughout the response process. Together, we can help clients not only develop their plans, but also test, improve and execute them with confidence.”

PreparedEx joins RockDove’s growing Crisis Readiness Ecosystem, which brings together organizations with complementary expertise across crisis management technology, communications, personal protection, professional development, planning, training and exercises.
