Long-Term Disaster Response & Recovery
Our work with disaster response and recovery is personal. As a New Orleans-headquartered firm, we have experienced first hand the havoc and devastation disasters inflict on a community. When they hit, we are there with the very best disaster response technology. Our team brings bold solutions to high-pressure situations, enabling coordination among multiple agencies and accelerating recovery for affected communities.
Every recovery we’ve supported, including Deepwater Horizon, Hurricane Sandy, and the Columbia Gas Explosion, has helped us better prepare for the challenges of the next.
In situations like these, our no-nonsense,
get it done approach shines as we:
- Rapidly deploy response teams with deep experience in crisis situations.
- Develop innovative technology solutions specific to disaster scenarios.
- Integrate systems across multiple government agencies and NGOs.
- Focus on practical outcomes for affected communities rather than bureaucratic procedures.
Our disaster recovery implementations provide immediate relief through improved coordination while building resilience for future events. Our systems enable faster claims processing, better resource allocation, and enhanced communication between stakeholders during critical response phases. Our systems have evaluated and disbursed over $14 billion of recovery grants & claims.
- We created the groundbreaking Cross-Organizational Referral Engine (CORE) after Hurricane Katrina, allowing different agencies to coordinate without expensive systems integration.
- We developed the “Who, What, Where” (W3) system—the official repository for services and conditions at FEMA trailer sites—eliminating duplication of services.
- We managed technology for the Deepwater Horizon Economic Claims Center—the largest class-action settlement in US history—processing millions of sensitive documents with zero security breaches.
- For the Columbia Gas Explosion, we accelerated the restoration process to meet a critical deadline before winter, then remained to complete long-term recovery work.
