As recovery efforts progress, our focus shifts to long-term solutions—restoring infrastructure, reducing future risks, and enhancing community resilience through strategic engineering and design. Whether responding to wildfires, landslides, flooding, or seismic hazards, our team delivers both the immediate response needed for safety and the comprehensive recovery planning required for lasting stability. We work closely with state, county, and local agencies, emergency responders, GHADs, and private landowners to address both immediate threats and long-term resilience.

Millions of acres burn across the western United States each year. Wildfires destroy stabilizing vegetation, which can facilitate devastating geologic hazards such as mudflows, debris flows, and excessive surface erosion during subsequent rainstorms. ENGEO’s team of engineers, geologists, hydrologists, and GIS analysts provide post-fire geologic hazard mitigation efforts to protect critical infrastructure, properties, and sensitive water bodies. ENGEO utilizes cutting-edge technologies and products to remain a step ahead of post-fire geologic hazards.
