History and Formation
Based in Baton Rouge, LA, Emergent Risk Solutions was founded in 2013 in the wake of Superstorm Sandy with the realization of increasing risks associated with the frequency of catastrophic natural disasters.
Since 2005, founder Kipp Nelson has 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, Mr. Nelson incorporated the firm, which provides independent, innovative, and professional project services, adding value to decision-making processes for clients.
