Disaster Recovery and Public Assistance

After a declaration, a local government has to run its normal operations and simultaneously document every dollar of eligible cost under rules most staff have never worked with. Deadlines are missed, documentation is incomplete, procurement mistakes become ineligible costs, and money that should have been reimbursed is deobligated years later in an audit.

High Street's recovery practitioners include a former FEMA Region VI Grants Director and a former GAO auditor. We advise leadership on strategy and funding sources from day one, set up the cost tracking and documentation standards that keep every project audit-ready, and carry projects from formulation through appeals and closeout. Before the next disaster, we train your staff to do it themselves.
