Each crisis is a unique event, with political, social and economic consequences. Each situation differs according to the consequences, duration and intensity (physical, psychological or reputational impact, financial losses). GEOS provides expertise to resolve critical situations for its clients (evacuation, blackmail, extortion, fraud, piracy).

Because every company that undergoes a crisis constitutes a unique case, GEOS has developed a certain number of services that can be implemented indivdually or in association with affiliated services and that are adapted to the corporate culture of the client.

HOT LINE

Angola Over a weekend a call on our hotline activated the GEOS crisis centre. The mission was to locate a expatriate who had disappeared a few hours previously. After 48 hours of searh operations the expatriate was found and brought to a safe haven. A medical team were on site for the repatriation.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION

Ivory Coast With all commercial flights suspended on account of the troubles in the capital during the month of January 2003, the GEOS Emergency Response Room organised the evacuation of a certain number of expatraites and their families using their network of contract pilots. Additional services were mobilised for the families who requested such assistance.

ON SITE EMISSARY

Somalia During the Summer of 2000, a ship on its way to Madagascar was attacked by pirates off the Horn of Africa. Following a request made by the shipowner, GEOS carried out negotiations which led to the release of the hostages as well as the safe retrieval of the ship and cargo.
