Public Works’ newest service area: Emergency Management & Planning

“It is essential that we work together to build a future that meaningfully captures and advances everyone’s needs. Our Emergency Management & Planning service is designed to make that imperative a reality.”

– Celeste Frye, Public Works Partners Founder & CEO

Public Works Partners is thrilled to announce our newest service area, Emergency Management & Planning. Through this service we will tackle the biggest challenges facing our communities, including the ongoing public health crisis, soaring economic inequality, and climate change.

Our emergency management work will center equity and focus on designing transformative, innovative, and community-based interventions that are tailored to meet each client’s circumstances.
