John Rogan is a founding partner of Integrated Solutions Consulting (ISC), a consulting firm providing a process-system based approach to comprehensive emergency preparedness: planning, training, exercise, and lesson learned development/implementation in an all-hazard environment. ISC believes effective, realistic, and demanding planning is the foundation of high-level preparedness operations and effective preparedness enables successful protect, prevent-mitigate, respond, recover, and operations. Preparedness operations are challenging to develop and maintain because it requires a high-level of commitment to focus on future and potential challenges. Working closely with our partners over the last four we believe we have found a better way to meet these important challenges.

Mr. Rogan has 25 years of experience with the United States Army, law enforcement, emergency management, and public health preparedness. Prior to founding ISC, Mr. Rogan was the Assistant Director of Emergency Management for the City of Chicago (City) Office of Emergency Management and Communications (OEMC). During his four years with OEMC, he led the development of the City and Cook County Tactical Interoperable Communications Plan (TICP) and the 2005 City’s All-Hazard Mitigation Plan, which is still in-use today. He also organized the shelter/reception center operations for hurricane Katina evacuees arriving in the City in 2005 and was the incident commander for large-scale shelter operations 2006. During his four years with OEMC Mr. Rogan has been repeatedly recognized by federal, state, regional, and local homeland security and emergency management professionals as articulate, progressive, and dynamic in developing solutions for a wide range of complex incidents, exercises, and projects.

During the last five years with ISC, Mr. Rogan has worked with state and local partners to enhance preparedness programs in the areas of emergency management and public health preparedness. He has recently led multiple public-private sector project teams in developing and deploying a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) preparedness system-program significantly enhancing collaboration and dramatically increasing the efficiency of preparedness operations.
