In conjunction with its robust product and service offerings for government and military organizations, Nusura team members are some of the most experienced and highly regarded emergency management professionals, having served in leadership positions in the military, the private sector, and in local, state, and federal agencies during some of the most challenging incidents in recent history, including the September 11th terrorist attacks.
“This is an exciting time for Nusura to join forces with Juvare. The partnership strengthens both companies’ ability to provide organizations with a clear understanding of how things work during real-world crises, emergencies, and military operations,” said Nusura CEO Emily Norcross. “Our experience in combination with Juvare’s industry-leading software solutions WebEOC®, EMResource®, eICS™ and the Juvare Exchange® platform will ensure readiness for armed forces, Homeland Security, and emergency management operations, which is mission-critical in today’s unpredictable environment.”
Watson concluded, “Nusura’s history of developing comprehensive solutions in collaboration with key stakeholders has been transforming crisis and emergency preparedness since 2008. This acquisition not only grows Juvare’s product portfolio and market positioning, but also reinforces our commitment to help our partners stop trouble in its tracks with precise and connected technology solutions. We couldn’t be more excited about the partnership.”
