Responding to an emergency or disaster requires urgency, strategy, and immediate action to gain control of the situation quickly. Many communities have just minutes to take action against the threat they are up against, whether it’s a hurricane, a tropical storm, a flood, or other disaster.

Debris Management and Monitoring Tidal Basin deploys a highly qualified team of emergency management experts experienced in debris management and disaster recovery operations. We are operational and ready to assist communities within 24 hours of notification. Assessing and managing debris according to FEMA guidance ensures consistency and compliance, supporting the design of effective debris management plans. Our team leads and assists managing large-scale debris removal operations – putting the safety of affected communities first.
Shelter Support Temporary housing is a pressing need as thousands are displaced following a disaster. Many community members are not able to return to their homes due to damage caused by flooding, debris, or power outages. As evacuation centers close, some residents may return home, while many will not. Available resources may consist of post-storm shelters managed by the American Red Cross and other organizations. The intake and tracking process at these shelters can be difficult while community efforts are focused on search and rescue, medical responses, and assessing immediate damages. During this time, coordination of shelter residents and staff is integral as these numbers are reported to the state. Tidal Basin manages these programs by supporting states with their sheltering processes and intake management to lessen the burden of their emergency response staff. Our goal is to help track the residents and visitors of a community, ensuring everyone is accounted for and most importantly, safe. Staff Augmentation and Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Support Tidal Basin provides communities with emergency management, emergency planning, Emergency Operations Center (EOC) operations and Emergency Support Functions (ESF) to better support emergency response efforts. We provide experts when and where you need them – sometimes to fill gaps or to relieve current team members. Our services are scalable to provide the appropriate resources throughout the duration of an incident, and we take into consideration the National Incident Management System (NIMS) framework when developing or supporting an EOC.

Disaster Case Management (DCM) While FEMA provides disaster case management guidelines and support, sometimes states and counties require additional personnel to handle the disaster at hand. Tidal Basin can help with this. Our team understands the urgency for members of a community to return home. We manage the intake process, assist with the tools and requirements to receive support, and follow through to case closeout once individuals are back in their homes.
