About Us

Last year, 3.3 million Americans had to leave their homes due to extreme weather conditions, and this number is expected to rise further due to climate change. Unfortunately, the current recovery systems are not equipped to handle such situations effectively.

Bright Harbor is a disaster recovery service that offers personalized support for our customers. Our digital tool and dedicated expert guide clients through the recovery process, helping them rebuild faster, easier, and with more confidence.

Our Mission

Extreme weather is increasingly forcing more Americans to leave their homes. Our recovery systems were not designed for this level of usage current level of need. They were designed for a time when extreme weather events were rare and affected only a few people. The available help for recovery comes from government entities, nonprofits, and insurance companies. Navigating these bureaucracies is complex, frustrating, and time-consuming and doesn’t even offer comprehensive solutions.

Our mission is to help people prepare and respond to climate change. We’re starting by simplifying the recovery journey for millions of people and bringing empathy to some people’s hardest moments.

Our Values

Empathy: We deeply understand the hardships our clients face after a disaster and strive to offer personalized support to help them rebuild with confidence.

Innovation: We continuously explore new technologies and strategies to improve our digital tools and recovery services, making them more efficient and effective.

Accountability: We take responsibility for the quality of our services and the satisfaction of our clients, always seeking to exceed expectations.

Collaboration: We work closely with our clients, government agencies, insurance providers, and other partners to ensure a seamless and coordinated recovery process.
