Disaster Recovery PlanningDownload Sample White Paper on Planning for Disaster Recovery

Public Assistance (PA) grants are the monies received through FEMA after an emergency. There are nine steps involved in obtaining this funding:

  1. Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA)
  2. Presidential Disaster Declaration
  3. Applicants’ Briefing by Grantee
  4. Submission of Request for Public Assistance by Applicant
  5. Kick-off Meeting with Public Assistance Coordinator (PAC)
  6. Project Formulation and Cost Estimating
  7. Project Review and Validation
  8. Obligation of Federal Funds and Disbursement to Subgrantees
  9. Appeals and Closeout

Because FEMA was criticized for the misallocation of PA grants after the hurricanes of 2005, this process is becoming tighter and rebuilding projects have become subject to greater detail and stricter regulations.

There are many roles and responsibilities to consider, as well as important documents that require special, proprietary software to view from the FEMA website.

It is an arduous process, but we can do it for you. Actually, we are the only company that has seen and experienced every piece of the FEMA puzzle first-hand.

After having your whole city wiped out and neighbors and friend’s lives blown away you will wish you had prepared for all of this beforehand.
