Services Disaster Management
Disaster Mitigation. Preparedness. Response. Recovery.
Nowhere is the IBTS philosophy more clearly defined than in our experience and commitment to disaster management. Hurricanes Ivan, Ike, Katrina, and Rita, and the Cedar Rapids flood recovery have provided IBTS with deep roots in national, state, and local communities meeting the needs of citizens recovering from disaster. IBTS measures success by speed, effectiveness, and efficiency helping disaster victims and their communities.
IBTS brings a combination of years of disaster response experience and “on point” skills – engineering, construction, code compliance, environmental compliance, health and safety compliance, debris management, and community outreach success. We design, implement, and plan effective mitigation programs and response action for communities accelerating recovery.
At the heart of a disaster is human pain and human response. IBTS believes that delivery of a successful recovery program is assumed and that communication, outreach, and compassion are the core to disaster recovery success.
First Responders for Rapid Assessment
Before the disaster strikes, IBTS stands ready to act as counselor to communities, trainer to staffs, and subject matter expert to planners and leadership.
