About Us

The Logsdon Group is committed to building long-range preparedness relationships and supporting our region in being better prepared to respond to, and therefore recover from, disasters and emergencies.

How We Got Started

In 2006 our founder was RIF'd from her full-time, disaster planning and response position. As she started making phone calls to the community contacts she had been working with it became clear that there was a need for support to our communities that wasn't being met.
When the state emergency management association asked her to submit a proposal for a long term relationship working on statewide preparedness efforts, the reality of her position became clear. Her reputation, knowledge, and abilities place her in the perfect position to support a myriad of efforts.
So, she incorporated and hired herself.
Over the years, the organization has moved away from "one-off" consulting and RFP/Q replies to ongoing relationships with a select group of organizations as well as sharing of information through training and workshops.
In 2018, the business moved from Rolling Meadows, IL to Rockford, IL as Diane's family moved. But we continue to proudly serve our clients as far away as So Cook Co.

I started seeing the Doctor for neck issues from a car accident and have stayed with the team because we found that my injury recovery was hampered by my overall health concerns. Part of which is caused by the pandemic and the number of hours I am spending inside at my desk! I had no idea how incredibly low my Vit D levels were until they recommended that we run blood work to have a better view of my overall health. I can't thank them enough or recommend them more highly for their holistic approach to health and wellness AND their ability to flex to meet my needs."

Most recently, we developed a primer Recovery Plan for COVID-19 for our communities and a Volunteer Management Program including policy, plan and accompanying forms for our healthcare coalition members.
