Our specially trained teams can mobilize immediately, speeding the recovery and rebuilding process after disaster strikes. We understand the risks of disaster, from preparedness response to recovery and mitigation and work with governments, agencies and municipalities to protect communities in the first place.

AECOM has a history of working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that stretches back more than 15 years and encompasses services that involve state and local governments and private non-profit organizations that require recovery assistance for public infrastructure, such as schools, hospitals, courts, firehouses, government buildings, roads, bridges and utilities. Our highly trained local staff engineers, architects, planners, program managers, construction managers, safety coordinators, cost estimators, economists, insurance analysts, environmental specialists, debris specialists, climate change scientists and sustainability experts are ready to provide you with an unmatched presence and expertise not just fixing, but improving your infrastructure, buildings and environs so you are more resilient and better prepared to recover in the wake of a future disaster.
