When the Threat Is Complex, the Response Must Be Clear

Expert consulting, training, and operational support for radiological and hazardous materials incidents—delivered by field-proven professionals.

Knowledge and support, where and when it’s needed most

Specialized support for radiological and hazardous materials incidents, built on real-world experience and operational insight.

Operational Support

When an incident occurs, Ecker Consulting LLC can provide real-time guidance, modeling, and technical interpretation to support critical decision-making, public protection, and dissemination of public information and education.

Pre-incident Planning

We help agencies assess potential radiological hazards, consequences, and develop clear, actionable response plans—ensuring your agency is prepared before an incident occurs.

Training

We deliver practical, field-focused instruction in radiological and CBRN response—designed specifically for emergency personnel. Our training demystifies complex topics, corrects common misconceptions, and builds responder confidence through clear, operationally relevant education.

Exercise Support

We assist in designing realistic, relevant CBRN and HazMat exercise scenarios that reflect credible threats and operational conditions. Our goal is to make your exercises meaningful, mission-driven, and grounded in actual response challenges.

Liaison Services

We support local agencies in navigating technical guidance from state and federal partners. By translating complex scientific or technical information into clear, actionable guidance, we help ensure local responders understand what’s being asked of them—and that their operational needs are communicated effectively in return.

Residential Services

We provide on-site evaluation and analysis for properties, antiques, and other materials suspected of containing radioactive contamination. Using professional-grade detection equipment and science-based assessment methods, we offer clear findings and practical guidance. Whether concerns are valid or unfounded, we deliver reassurance and expert recommendations rooted in real-world radiological knowledge.

Equipment & Technology Guidance

We assist agencies in selecting and utilizing radiation detection instruments, specialized software, and other response tools suited to their operational needs. Our recommendations are grounded in real-world experience and focused on practicality, reliability, and mission relevance.
