Emergency Management

aftermath

Abt’s Global Emergency Management Services (GEMS) Group is an international and domestic leader in emergency management and homeland security. We support incident response, program evaluation, planning, and implementation.

We have experience supporting all levels of government and all levels of disasters—including planning for pandemic flu in the Washington Metropolitan Area; responding to and conducting after-action reports for Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Wilma, and Irene; and providing tornado after-action assessment for the State of Massachusetts.

In 2008 we were selected to provide support for the 2009 Presidential Inauguration. We delivered a comprehensive, multi-jurisdictional All Hazards Planning Guide and the Plan for Consequences Management—the first in United States history for a presidential inauguration.

Abt understands that emergency management is a collaborative process that includes many disciplines. Our highly accomplished team includes experts in homeland security, emergency management, organizational development, epidemiology, economics, political science, psychology, sociology, law, statistics, systems analysis, computer science, mathematics, public administration, and business administration.
