HAZARD MITIGATION SERVICES Disasters don’t wait. Neither do we.

When a water disaster strikes, there is no time to waste. Hurricanes, typhoons, heavy storms and flooding can cause catastrophic damage to our communities, the effects swift and brutal. With WSP, our water hazard mitigation services help rebuild and safeguard our communities. Our emergency management and disaster response professionals are always at the ready, 24/7/365. Our teams are prepared for immediate deployments to disasters at the local, state and federal level, covering all 50 states and US territories. We advise clients on every stage of the emergency management cycle: preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation. WSP takes a holistic approach to solving clients’ needs; we not only address immediate concerns, but also help mitigate the severity of a future event’s impact. Water hazard mitigation involves preventing or reducing

damage caused by water-related disasters through means such as stopping the spread of water, removing excess water, eliminating moisture and preventing mold growth. After a presidentially declared disaster, federal agencies like Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) offer grants that include hazard mitigation funding. WSP partners with state and local governments to secure these funds and implement projects that reduce future risks. These efforts focus on strengthening infrastructure and include sustainable urban planning, flood control, coastal resilience and green infrastructure—helping communities better withstand future disasters while promoting long-term resilience.
