How We Partner
On-demand reserve model gives emergency management agencies surge capacity without carrying standing headcount
As recovery responsibility shifts toward states, NEA partners with state, tribal, and territorial emergency management agencies to pre-position experienced recovery personnel before disaster strikes
As a nonprofit, NEA returns all net income to charitable giving.
