Hello jdlquestion,
Thank you for your question!
Your clarifications did help me to know a bit more what you wanted. I
included a number of "full service" disaster management response
companies and some that are much more specialized, such as providing
helicopters to fight forest fires. I believe that I have covered most
bases, though, as far as emergency management goes! If I'm incorrect
and I have not, just let me know with a clarification and I'll get
back to you as soon as possible.

Clarification of Answer by
keystroke-ga
on
13 Nov 2006 23:55 PST
Hello jdlquestion,
Thanks for asking for clarification and letting me give it another go.
Since you're very eager for information, I'm going ahead and
publishing what I have found on the subject tonight. This is all I
can do for tonight as it's getting late and frankly past my bedtime.
Just to let you know, this is in off-the-cuff, rough draft-type form
because I'm posting before I've done my complete research. I will
delve into the topic a bit more tomorrow as needed.
--------
I believe that Belfor also provides full service disaster recovery services--
Here's their description anyway:
"Structural dehumidification, mold remediation, fire restoration,
structural cleaning and decontamination, contents restoration,
electronics and machinery restoration, book and document reclamation,
magnetic media recovery, and reconstruction services"

http://www.belfor.com
Here are some additional companies that I found. Let me know how
these work for you.
If you don't mind, could you also clarify what you mean for me by
"emergency management" companies in regards to the individual states
you mentioned? Do you refer to companies like BMS Cat (which actually
try to manage emergencies) and these same types of companies or to
consulting companies that do clerical-type work for the counties to
help them get federal money for projects (but do none of the actual
projects themselves)? I'm not entirely clear on what exactly you're
wishing for with that, so it'd be great if you could give me a bit
more info.
