O'Brien's Response Management (O'Brien'sRM) was formed in 2008, with the integration of three world-class providers of emergency preparedness, response management and compliance services; The O'BRIEN'S Group, O'Brien Oil Pollution Services (OOPS), and Response Management Associates (RMA). The name O'Brien's has quickly become synonymous with unmatched expertise and experience in the fields of environmental compliance, emergency preparedness (e.g. plans, training and exercises), incident response management, throughout the maritime, petrochemical and energy industries, as well as local, state and federal agencies with responsibilities for emergency preparedness and disaster response.
 
This new integration allows us to provide consolidated services throughout numerous complimentary service lines to our clients in a more efficient manner; ultimately giving us a better opportunity to serve our clients through extensive resources of the new combined entity. Our management and professional staff has remained the same as well as our commitment to our customers, the only thing that has changed is a new look and an expanded complimentary service line that now includes:

1. Emergency Management and Incident Response;
2. Regulatory Compliance Planning and Permitting;
3. Crisis Management and Business Continuity;
4. Facility Security Services;
5. Vessel Services;
6. Communication and Media Relations;
7. Safety Services;
8. Training, Drills and Exercises;
9. Consulting Services; and
10. Government Services

The history of the O'Brien's name started back in the early 80's when founder Jim O'Brien retired as an officer with the United States Coast Guard. Jim formed his own company, O'Brien Oil Pollution Service, otherwise known as "OOPS", in Slidell, Louisiana. OOPS was acquired by ERST, a US West Coast company, to provide country-wide emergency response coverage. The new combined company was later acquired by SEACOR Holdings Inc. under the SEACOR Environmental Services division in 1997 and later renamed The O'BRIEN'S Group (TOG).

In 2006, The O'BRIEN'S Group acquired Response Management Associates otherwise known as RMA, which strengthened the company’s regulatory compliance and planning capabilities. In September of 2007, The O’BRIEN’S Group announced the acquisition of Solid Resources, Inc. (SRI), a privately held debris management and emergency assistance consulting firm based in Sarasota, Florida. Later SRI was integrated with O’Brien’sRM as the Government Services Division of the company.

In October of 2008, The O’BRIEN’S Group integrated all three divisions, TOG, OOPS, and RMA to join forces and form one full-service and collective company, named O’Brien’s Response Management Inc. (O’Brien’sRM).
 
In December of 2009, O’Brien’sRM  completed the successful acquisition of PIER Systems Inc., a crisis communications company that has developed the PIER software application, an all-in-one, web-based solution for communications management, public relations, media monitoring, employee notification, an d business continuity.
