Municipalities, counties, and states around the country face a tremendous task: How do you efficiently prepare, manage, and distribute resources during times of crises? E & E offers the solution with ALARMS, a Web-based information system designed to manage all data associated with logistics planning and emergency management operations. This user-friendly tool allows cities, municipalities, and other entities to manage critical resources before, during, and after a crisis event.

Counterterrorism Equipment Warehouse, EPA Region 10
Developed an inventory tracking database and Web site—both accessible to EPA staff, E & E personnel, and emergency responders from EPA Region 10’s other contractors—that provide real-time information concerning the availability of sensitive equipment in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Services include the storage and maintenance of equipment and material, operation of warehouse space, and transportation of specified equipment in case of emergency.

Developed Systemwide Application for Governing Emergencies (SAGE) to provide a single access point to a number of existing NYCDOE databases. Linked data to information contained in existing databases as well as newly created GIS data.
Hurricane Katrina/Hurricane Rita Hurricane Housing Task Force, Louisiana
Created a Web-accessible database to interface with software applications being used in more than a dozen donated-goods warehouses throughout the state of Louisiana.

“Having great confidence in … [the E & E team’s] abilities has allowed us to encourage other agencies to work directly with them without our interference—certainly not a luxury we are granted with many of the past contractors we have worked with. The feedback from those who have worked with them is always positive. …We have already recommended E & E to others and look forward to continue working with your company, based on the performance of this outstanding team.”—New York City Office of Emergency Management
“Without [E & E], we certainly would not be able to accomplish the daunting task. ... I appreciate the services that E & E have been and are providing as we move through the tragic environment imposed on our great State by the devastating hurricanes of most recent times.”—Gary Matherne, Office of the Governor, Louisiana Hurricane Housing Task Force
