FEMA Public Assistance Support for Our Clients

Our team has prepared and submitted tens of thousands of Project Worksheets (PWs) on behalf of our clients and recovered billions of dollars in disaster-related recovery funds. We have worked in all FEMA regions and at all levels (applicant, grantee, and federal) which gives a unique perspective when approaching FEMA Public Assistance (PA) Services.

In terms of PA, we provide a very policy driven approach, seeking to maximize our client's eligible funding while reducing their overall risk for future deobligation. This approach is key in supporting client operations as you recover from COVID-19 because of FEMA’s adjustment to a Simplified PA Process specifically for this pandemic:

Analytics & Data Science Perspective: COVID-19 & FEMA Public Assistance Obligations

State-Level Analysis

Our Data Analytics team conducted a study on the FEMA Public Assistance Program COVID-19 reimbursements, which provides grants to state and local governments as well as certain private non-profit organizations to assist in disaster recovery efforts.

County-Level Analysis

Eligible counties have only received 5% of obligated FEMA Public Assistance dollars thus far for COVID-19. Many state-level applicants have significant experience with FEMA Public Assistance, but there’s been turnover or a lack of program experience on the local level that has caused a delay in applying for these dollars.
