Disaster Response

Resources Ready to Mobilize at a Moment’s Notice

Disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, and flooding can look very different. The need to recover quickly in the aftermath is the same. Terracon’s resiliency and disaster response specialists partner with property owners, operators, facility managers, and restoration contractors across the country to plan and prepare facilities ahead of potential disasters. We also coordinate response services after a disaster strikes, providing the expertise and resources to supplement an efficient recovery.

Proactive Planning for Disaster Resilience

Returning to normal and restoring critical services and functions is the top priority following a disaster. Terracon helps your business operations and assets become more resilient and reduces recovery time from a disaster through our resiliency and disaster planning services. From property risk and vulnerability assessments to developing response procedures, to identifying opportunities to “build back better,” and reducing impacts from future events, we are your trusted partner in resiliency, response and restoration through services that include: 

• Preparing disaster response plans
• Development of mitigation plans to lessen the impact of a disaster
• Setting up and coordinating relationships with response contractors

Resources to Lead Disaster Recovery Efforts 

Urgency, action, and impact are critical for disaster recovery. Whether a disaster has a long lead time – such as a hurricane – or materializes unexpectedly, our clients benefit from local, regional, and national resources able to respond quickly. After 2021’s Hurricane Ida, for example, Terracon’s response included more than 40 professionals from nearly 20 offices across the country. With more than 200 offices across the country, our clients get local expertise backed by national resources, giving them the services they need when they’re needed.  
 
Terracon also has relationships with restoration firms and contractors. We can help provide services to help your facility recover, inside and out, for a quicker return to normal. Our in-house expertise includes mold and indoor air quality assessments and abatement, asbestos assessment and abatement, and hazardous material investigations. Terracon is a single source with a range of services. Our clients benefit from this is improved communication and a faster path to recovery. Disasters are immune to geography. With responders in more than 35 offices capable of serving the lower 48 states, we can respond when disaster strikes. Whether you’re managing a healthcare, commercial, multi-family or other property, we have the expertise and resources to lead you through your disaster planning and recovery efforts.
