Recovery
Returning the population, rebuilding and repairing schools, reestablishing the business community, and repairing or replacing homes are just a few of the many challenges associated with restoring and enhancing a community's pre-disaster quality of life.
IEM delivers planning, technical assistance, and program support to communities in the days, weeks, and months following a disaster. Just as importantly, we support public officials, planners, and community members in implementing a long-term planning process to ensure a disaster-resilient and economically stable community for the future.
