The purpose of federal disaster programs are to support local communities when they are overwhelmed and cannot identify the resources locally to recover from a disasters’ impact. This same approach applies to the Individual Assistance programs offered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in helping citizens maximize disaster funding programs across government agencies to support community and individual recovery. Rule One works with Local and State Administrative Agencies to maximize assistance to individuals and families.

Rule One Consulting helps emergency management navigate the Public Assistance program in federally declared disasters to leverage community efforts to offset local cost share. From volunteer hours to disaster food trucks in action, communities can leverage the goodwill of their citizens to help the community recover faster while gaining support for the long term.

Leveraging Community Resources into Operational Capability – Rule One works with community organizations to increase local capability leveraging community support and federal funding. From sheltering to mass feeding and distribution of life essential supplies to disaster survivors, Rule One Consulting can increase the capability through partnership in action.

 

Year after year, emergency managers strive to increase public awareness and mitigate the impact of community hazards. However, becoming aware of disasters and taking actionable steps to prepare for them are vastly different things.
