Respond Global founder Dr Ian Norton is a specialist emergency physician with a wealth of experience in coordinating large-scale medical and operational responses to international disaster situations. He is supported by a highly qualified global team of all-hazards disaster management and emergency response experts.
Our collective experience as clinicians, hospital administrators, and disaster managers means we are well-positioned to assist our clients to better manage disasters that directly affect their oganisations, workforces, and communities.
Respond Global has been at the forefront of disaster management for many years, providing leadership and coordination roles during disasters of significance. These have included numerous Australian flood, cyclone and bushfire disasters, the 2015 Nepal earthquake and Typhoon Haiyan, and infectious disease outbreaks including COVID-19, Measles (Samoa), and Ebola (West Africa).
We provide frameworks, processes, and tools that directly interface with the broader emergency management frameworks administered locally. This ensures not only a comprehensive and structured response to disasters specific to the requirements of each client, but also one that is tightly coupled into local emergency management arrangements, removing issues of misalignment or miscommunication of response activities.
