Putting Survivors First

As natural disasters increase in frequency and severity, it is vital that organizations work with a partner that understands how to save lives, protect property, and build communities back stronger after disaster strikes.

IEM uses risk-based, data-driven services to help emergency managers and other decision makers achieve results that work in the real world. IEM has applied its winning formula of experience, people, and technology to hundreds of emergency management projects for federal, state, and local government agencies and the private sector worldwide. IEM has also managed billions of dollars in disaster assistance coming from a wide array of sources and programs, including federal, state, local, non-profit, philanthropic, and private sector organizations.

Most importantly, throughout every part of our work, we never lose sight of our primary objective: putting survivors first.

Fighting for Communities: Finding Every Dollar Eligible for Recovery
