Having gone through many hurricanes personally, and being around emergency teams over the years, top three things that we have learned…

PREPARE, PREPARE, PREPARE

-PRODUCT TEAM, ESF8 Portal

Our Story

The ESF 8 Portal was born after Hurricane Gustav in 2008 out of the frustration of using multiple, independent software tools that covered only partial needs to manage a large scale emergency. We built the ESF 8 Portal based on the first hand experiences of Louisiana's response during Katrina, Rita, Gustav and Issac.

Our Goal

Make a simple, integrated, user-friendly software suite that provided all the information needed by emergency preparedness managers in one single place with single sign-on through web and mobile apps.

We are passionate about making software that saves lives
