During catastrophic events evacuations may be necessary.

Generally, an evacuation effort occurs in four phases:

  1. Mass evacuation of people from the stricken area
  2. Provision of shelter and life sustaining resources
  3. Resettlement of evacuees
  4. Return of evacuees to their pre-disaster residence, or an alternate location.

During this time the ability to coordinate, track, and avoid duplication of benefits is paramount. We employ technology, plans, and people to deliver our solution. Meet Emergency and Disaster Management 3.0 and beyond! The DEMAND™ CARD System.
