For 50 years, Chemonics has collaborated with governments, businesses, and nonprofits on responses to both large and localized emergencies in 160 countries around the world. Now, our team of experts is harnessing these skills and experiences to support communities in the United States.
With a disciplined focus on both immediate recovery and long-term resilience, we work hand-in-hand with governments, businesses, and non-profits to effectively respond to national, state, and local-level emergencies. From designing training and simulation exercises, to supporting grant-writing for federal recovery funds, to strengthening wildfire prevention strategies, we partner with local leaders to find solutions that work for their communities.

“My experience has taught me that preparedness and partnership aren’t abstract ideas. They save lives. Bringing that perspective home to help state and local leaders around the United States strengthen their own communities is some of the most meaningful work I’ve done.”
– Emet Mohr, Principal
