Company History
Over the last 20 years, Innovative Emergency Management, Inc. (IEM) has become one of the leading risk management companies in the US, providing services to private industry and government agencies, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the US Department of Defense.
Virtually all of our corporate efforts are focused on keeping people safe—at home, at work, and on the battlefield. Our clients rely on our science-based solutions to sensitive and complex problems such as:
Identifying areas truly at risk from natural and man-made hazards
Communicating risks to the public
Measuring how well populations at risk are protected
Identifying ways to improve protection
Developing and improving response plans
We use innovative methods that rely on sound science and advanced technology to provide each client with objective, quantitative data that supports difficult decisions about protection within the realities of scarce resources, shrinking budgets, and concerned citizens.
In addition, we firmly believe that each client deserves a well-researched, creative solution developed in the most efficient manner. So we employ interdisciplinary teams of personnel, process-based approaches, and the latest advances in knowledge engineering.
Finally, we realize that protection is about more than numbers; it's about people. So we involve all stakeholders in reaching the solution. We listen in order to understand the problem and the concerns surrounding it, and we are committed to finding the right solution to the right problem...the first time.
