Recovery
If the recovery process is not performed correctly, crucial funding may be withheld when it is needed the most.
When the mission changes from response to recovery, what’s needed is effective and agile support from professionals who understand State and local government and who can serve as powerful advocates for them, while maintaining good relations with the Federal organizations that hold the funds.
Exploring all avenues for recovery.
IEM helps communities identify and explore all options and resources to support full recovery
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.
IEM professionals leverage more than 250 years of combined experience to explore all options and resources critical to a full recovery. IEM's qualified and dedicated staff includes former local emergency managers and planners as well as mitigation, recovery, and public/individual assistance specialists who understand and know how to incorporate all available programs—Federal, State and local—into the recovery process.
