Disaster Recovery Experts
Disaster can strike anywhere at any time with little or no warning. In the after-math of a natural disaster, government organizations face the overwhelming task of coordinating, implementing and managing a disaster recovery effort while trying to provide normal day-to-day services and respond to customer concerns. In our planning efforts, we provide multi-jurisdictional coordination as well as debris contractor procurement so the agreements are in place and crews can be mobilized within hours of an event. Our post-event response services routinely include program management, collection and disposal monitoring, GIS and mapping services and call center operations. BDR is experienced in the operational processes and procedures required to help clients receive maximum reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and/or state emergency management agencies. When disputes occur, BDR is also there for appeals support.
