The complexities and dynamics of today's safety, security, and protection challenges require more than ever to have leaders in homeland security and emergency management provide effective solutions that produce results.

Homeland security & emergency management is the core of what we do.
No one understands the challenges you face more than IEM. Keeping people safe has been IEM's core business since 1985. While many companies since 9/11 include homeland security and emergency management as one of several business sidelines, our primary focus is helping the Federal government, states, and local agencies prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and events of all kinds—from terrorism to catastrophic natural disasters.

Proven expertise, real-world experience in Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
For 25 years, IEM’s technical and management expertise has been relied on by the nation’s foremost homeland security and emergency management organizations, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and state and county emergency management agencies across the country. We have particular expertise working with complex protection programs that cross Federal, state, and local jurisdictions.

Our strong core of staff of emergency management planners include former directors of county and state emergency management agencies, directors of federal Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) defense programs, first responders, law enforcement personnel, and other professionals charged with public safety. These specialists and subject matter experts honed their skills in Federal agencies and in top state and local homeland security and emergency management leadership positions. They are proven leaders that understand your needs and challenges.

We possess deep technical qualifications, boasting a range of scientific and technological expertise more typically found in research organizations. We use our risk-based, outcome-focused technologies to help emergency managers and other decision makers achieve the results that work in the real world.

IEM has applied its winning formula of experience, people, and technology to hundreds of homeland security and emergency management projects for Federal, state, and local government agencies and the private sector worldwide.
