Core competencies

• Disaster damage assessment. Initial damage assessment support, joint preliminary damage assessment preparation, Public Assistance damage description and dimensions, substantial damage estimates, and flood, wind and water damage inspection.
• Hazard mitigation and resilience planning. Tribal and local mitigation plans and five year updates under 44 CFR 201.7 and 201.6, hazard identification and risk assessment, vulnerability and loss estimation, mitigation strategy and project pipeline, and HMGP, BRIC and FMA subapplication support.
• Disaster recovery and FEMA Public Assistance. Declaration strategy, project worksheet development across Categories A through G, Grants Portal management, Section 406 mitigation, appeals and arbitration, closeout, and OIG audit support.
• Insurance to grant reconciliation. Stafford Act Section 312 duplication of benefits analysis performed facility by facility against obligated scopes.
• Claims services. Independent and catastrophe adjusting, large loss commercial and condominium, building envelope forensics, NFIP flood, and quality assurance file review.
• Litigation and dispute resolution. Expert witness testimony, party-appointed appraisal, neutral umpire service, and mediation and arbitration support.
• Professional services and staffing. Procurement and program support, grant compliance across FEMA, HUD and BIA streams, and staff augmentation.

Differentiators

• One firm carries both the federal grant discipline and the insurance discipline. Most competitors carry one and refer the other out, which is where duplication of benefits exposure is created.
• More than 25 years of catastrophe damage assessment in the field, from single structures to an $85 million commercial property loss on the Gulf Coast.
• 45 completed FEMA Independent Study courses, including IS-318.b Mitigation Planning for Local and Tribal Communities, the sixteen-course Public Assistance series, IS-559 Local Damage Assessment, and the IS-100, 200, 700 and 800 baseline.
• NFIP flood certified across residential, commercial, condominium and manufactured housing; Executive General Adjuster for insurance-side scopes.
• Enrolled Choctaw ownership and a Master of Legal Studies in Indigenous Peoples Law from the University of Oklahoma, with membership in the Oklahoma Indian Bar Association.
• Set aside standing that supports Indian preference requirements and small and disadvantaged business utilization goals on a prime's subcontracting plan.
