Navigating Complex Requirements

The FEMA Public Assistance process can be complex and overwhelming, especially when municipal leaders may have been personally impacted by the same disaster. BRC specializes in FEMA Public Assistance, bringing clarity to the requirements, helping you gather the necessary documentation, ensuring accuracy, and eliminating potential errors. This attention to detail strengthens your application and expedites the reimbursement process.

FEMA Public Assistance can be made available through a federal disaster declaration for specific counties, states, and territories following an eligible natural or man-made event. The following expenses may be reimbursable:

  • Emergency operations and response costs, including personnel, equipment, and facilities.
  • Temporary sheltering
  • Debris and other cleanup expenses
  • Infrastructure repairs
  • Mitigation against future hazards

Each FEMA Public Assistance case is unique, so we leverage our experience to develop tailored strategies to suit your specific circumstances and objectives. We analyze the intricacies of your situation, identify potential challenges, and craft persuasive arguments to strengthen your case. This customized approach maximizes your chances of a successful outcome.

Mitigation of Facilities

Mitigating facilities after a disaster using FEMA funds is a proactive approach to minimizing future risks and promoting community resilience. Through FEMA’s Public Assistance program, organizations can secure funding to implement mitigation measures that enhance the structural integrity and resiliency of facilities. Mitigation can include wind resiliency, flood-proofing, generators and more.

Mitigation Funds

Mitigation funds can be used to strengthen buildings, improve infrastructure, and implement hazard-resistant design features. By investing in mitigation, communities can reduce the impact of future disasters, protect lives, and preserve critical assets. FEMA’s support in funding post-disaster mitigation efforts empowers organizations to build more resilient facilities, ensuring a safer and more sustainable future for all.

Appeals Support

In the event of an initial FEMA Public Assistance application denial or falling short of expectations, BRC provides valuable support for the appeals process, even if we did not work together on your initial application. We’ll review the determination for oversights, errors, and inconsistencies with other determinations from FEMA, and then develop a compelling appeal. Our expertise ensures your appeal addresses the necessary points and presents a convincing case for reconsideration.

Our expertise helps you avoid compliance pitfalls, reducing the risk of delays or future de-obligations or repayments.
