Emergency/ Disaster Response Services

Powered by CB Dispatch & Carrier Services – The Operational Arm of CHRIS

When disaster strikes, time is the one resource you can’t replace — and neither is history.
Cultural Heritage Resource Impact Solutions, Inc. (CHRIS), through its operational arm CB Dispatch & Carrier Services, delivers specialized emergency and disaster response for the protection, recovery, and secure transport of cultural resources at risk.

Our mission is simple: safeguard the irreplaceable — the artifacts, sites, and heritage materials that tell our collective story — while ensuring your project or community recovers efficiently and in compliance with all legal requirements.

Led by Expertise in the Field and the Command Center

CB Dispatch is operated by a team of highly qualified professionals with decades of combined experience in:

  • Disaster Mortuary Operations Response Team (DMORT) deployments, working under federal incident command to recover and process human remains and personal effects in mass fatality events.

  • FEMA ICS-certified operations, with all CHRIS/CB Dispatch staff currently holding FEMA course credentials to ensure readiness and seamless integration with emergency management agencies.

  • International research and crisis fieldwork, directing large-scale archaeological and cultural heritage projects in challenging and high-pressure environments.

  • Logistics and project management, coordinating multi-state deployments, managing cross-agency communication, and ensuring resources are positioned where they are needed most.

This unique combination of forensic precision, cultural resource expertise, and disaster response readiness makes CB Dispatch one of the only heritage-focused emergency teams in the Southeast capable of delivering both cultural compliance and rapid deployment.
