DRA pairs recovery program expertise with disciplined data and AI engineering — so state, regional, tribal, and territorial applicants spend less time in the documentation grind.
A practitioner's read on the FEMA Review Council report and the readiness posture SLTTs need now. By Joseph Yocca, Founder/CEO of DRA and former FEMA Recovery Officer.
DRA is built specifically for FEMA recovery work — not a generalist consultancy that added a grants practice.
Stafford Act recovery from declaration through closeout — PA project formulation, damage substantiation, eligibility narratives aligned to PAPPG, RFI response, and grant lifecycle management.
Pre-event strategy that pays out post-event — HMGP scoping and project ranking, hazard mitigation planning support, BCA modeling, and BRIC application strategy and writing.
EHP compliance is a gate on every FEMA-funded project. We manage environmental reviews and Section 106 consultations and documentation so your obligation or closeout is never delayed.
AI-enabled decision support for applicants in active recovery — PA Project Worksheet drafting, RFI response with cited evidence, and closeout reconciliation. Built on NIST AI RMF principles, with the human in the loop by default.
Identify and pursue the right federal and state funding before the window closes — landscape analysis, eligibility narratives, development support, and submission management across FEMA and other disaster recovery programs.
From scoping to obligation — scope development, cost estimation, benefit-cost analysis, eligibility narrative writing, and project formulation support across PA, HMGP, and mitigation programs, built to survive audit every time.
Every direction the reforms could plausibly land in increases the value of disciplined documentation, defensible narratives, and audit-grade decision trails.
Applicants who tighten up now are positioned to benefit from any outcome — and exposed to none of them.
A short walkthrough of how we work and what the FEMA reforms mean for your active portfolio.
