Personal Effects Management

Personal Effects (PE) are items belonging to individuals directly affected by an emergency, either found on their person or in close proximity to the event. These items hold deep personal significance, symbolizing the individual’s connection to the event. The Effects Management Center (EMC) coordinates all phases of the PE process, including the recovery, meticulous care and cleaning, cataloging, and respectful return of PE to families. The EMC is the most sophisticated, confidential, and professional
facility of its kind.
