Driving Innovation for Disaster Recovery Programs

摘要

Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, New York, New Jersey, California, Texas, Louisiana, Virginia and Florida all have something in common: each has recently faced the devastating impact of large-scale natural disasters. "Helping communities recover from and then thrive after disasters is our mission," says Rick Faircloth, director of state and local government programs for APTIM. He explains the complexity of the challenge and the journey through which American states and territories can rise from devastation to renewal-and how innovation, technology, creative program management and proper stewardship of federal funding are integral to the recovery process. He understands it because APTIM has tactically supported every major natural disaster in the United States since 2005.
