Emergency management has become more sophisticated because disasters have become increasingly complex and costly. There is a growing appreciation for training, for data-based decisions, and for evidence-based evaluations. And, following the Presidential Directive on National Preparedness and the National Disaster Recovery Framework, there is greater integration of agencies and resources. Ruback Associates is at the forefront of these changes, and we are honored to work with the caring individuals who respond to and plan for disasters and acts of terrorism.

We use an evidence-based and creative approach to our work. We work to improve disaster services by helping agencies fulfill their commitments to taxpayers, and we work to secure future funding and continued improvement of the disaster system by linking:

• Accountability and performance to policy and allocation of resources
• Learning and training to the quick paced response environment
• Community recovery to sustainability
• Applied research to people in the field.
• Existing networks and activities to programs.
• All-Hazards planning to terrorism and humanitarian, natural, and technological disasters.
• Public and private services and resources to needs.

We work with individuals and communities affected by disasters: local, state and federal agencies, engineers, politicians, scientists, emergency managers, public health professionals, tribal leaders, universities, public safety officials, non-profit agencies, industry and corporate leaders and the media. We have experience in dealing with groups that require special attention: children, individuals with disabilities, others with access and functional needs, diverse communities, and people with limited English proficiency.
