Managing risk from the first mile to the final response.
Hazardous materials move through communities every day, by rail, pipeline, motor carrier, and barge, and are stored in fixed facilities across the country. Add chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) threats to the picture, and the margin for error grows thinner still. IEM helps government partners plan for that risk, prepare their teams, and respond with confidence when hazardous materials or CBRNE incidents threaten lives, property, and the environment.
IEM’s experts deliver comprehensive emergency planning across all modes of transport and points of storage, with specialized depth in nuclear and radiological preparedness. We work alongside localities, states, tribes, and federal partners to reduce risk, close gaps, and strengthen emergency response operations that protect communities during incidents. Our team’s experience spans hazardous materials, CBRNE, and the nuclear and radiological sector, giving partners a single, trusted resource for the full spectrum of high-consequence threats.
When hazardous materials must move, IEM brings the specialized logistics to transport, stage, and manage them safely, keeping response operations moving while protecting responders and communities every step of the way.
