Emergency
Service Providers

Natural and human-induced disasters can have crippling effects on the infrastructure and livelihood of entire communities. Logistics management and disaster preparedness are critical to national, state and local recovery teams to ensure that they are positioned to mitigate the effects of such events. WSP has deployed logistics management and emergency response teams to help communities in all U.S. territories and beyond to recover from hurricanes, typhoons, wildfires and flooding, infectious disease related occurrences, and chemical and biohazard contamination. With experts in offices across the globe and a vast network of thousands of subcontractors, we can respond quickly to any issues or challenge, anywhere.

Federal, State and Local Governments

Adapting to climate change is essential to protect critical service delivery and functionality, and minimize impacts to environment, infrastructure and communities. Our team works with all levels of government to evaluate and mitigate climate risks, and prepare for, respond to, and recover from systemic shocks and stressors. We help quantify climate-related impacts on sectors, assets and populations; assess future climate conditions and risk interdependencies of infrastructure, operations, economy and society; navigate regulations and funding requirements for resilience projects; develop climate change policies and programs; and increase awareness and build capacity for staff and stakeholders.

Infrastructure Owners and Operators

Climate change and human-induced threats pose significant risk to physical assets, such as real estate, infrastructure, large capital equipment and operating conditions. Our team of climate scientists and engineers evaluates climate risks and establishes design thresholds and solutions needed for assets to withstand extreme events and evolving climate stressors. We assess hazards and vulnerabilities for infrastructure assets; adapt existing infrastructure to future climate scenarios and design new infrastructure using future climate data and resilience measures; and integrate climate change resilience into organizational frameworks, policies and decision-making.

Business, Industry and Investors

In anticipation of the cascading effects of climate change on companies, markets and economies, enterprises are increasingly being asked to assess and disclose climate-related risks and make climate-resilient decisions. WSP’s team of sustainability and resilience experts work with leading U.S. and international companies across industries — financial services, banking, information technology, transport, aerospace and defense, luxury goods, government — to make science-informed decisions for optimal business sustainability and resilient infrastructure portfolios.
