Government

Local and national governments have recently been faced with their largest challenges in over a century. As they recover from COVID-19 and other social and economic disruptions, government and its role as we knew it will never be the same. Trends in digital government, infrastructure, and overall service delivery illustrate the increasing demands of citizens on their governing bodies. While there are still major gaps between what customers have come to expect and the experience traditionally provided by the public sector, major strides are being made in this area.

As with any transformation, there are many risks, and during this time of recovery, restoration, and transformation, it is imperative that governments continue to function at current levels. Should local, regional, or national agencies be impacted by any type of additional catastrophic incident, the result could be paralyzing.

Envista Forensics has partnered with government agencies and public services for decades, providing unbiased investigative expertise following all kinds of disasters or disputes. We have helped government utilities recover after numerous hurricanes disabled entire power grids and have mobilized into wildfire-ravaged communities alongside first responders to assist with damage assessments.
