History and Formation
Based in Baton Rouge, LA, Emergent Risk Solutions was founded with the realization of the increasing risks associated with the frequency of catastrophic natural disasters.
Since 2005, ERS leaders have provided services including emergency management, disaster recovery, resilience and mitigation, and project support for federal, state, and local government agencies, private non-profits and enterprises. In 2013, Kipp Nelson incorporated the firm, which provides independent, innovative, and professional project services, adding value to decision-making processes for clients.
Today, the firm staffs more than 75 positions with approximately 50 additional staff available to support our clients. ERS has supported recovery from 37 disasters and provides service in 16 states and territories, while supporting multiple FEMA contracts across the nation.
