Exclusive Blue Skies Contracts
Establish a Blue Skies Contract that guarantees that if your community is affected by a disaster, you will be prioritized as a first-line client. Our team will activate and coordinate with your leadership immediately after the disaster to assess the impact and develop next steps.
Immediate Disaster Support
Blue Skies Contract clients enjoy peace of mind knowing that they have immediate disaster recovery support. Within 24 hours of a major disaster impact our team will initiate operations to begin your disaster recovery efforts.
FEMA Public Assistance Navigation
Successfully accessing FEMA Public Assistance grants is a complex process. We provide expert guidance on: identifying and documenting your damages and costs, preparing and submitting applications, ensuring compliance with federal requirements, maximizing eligible reimbursements, and mitigating future impacts.
FEMA Policy Analysis
Rules, regulations, and policies have a direct impact on how much money is afforded to your organization’s recovery. These change frequently. Our experienced team is adept at interpreting these changes and leveraging them for your organization’s benefit.
Professional Scope and Costing
Our experts can help to assure that the estimates you receive to repair or rebuild your facilities are fair and reasonable, and align with federal guidance. Our cost estimators utilize years of experience and leading edge software to assure you aren’t underestimating your projects.
Preliminary Damage Assessments
After disasters the impacts to organizations like yours are captured to determine if there are enough damages to a community to warrant a Presidential disaster declaration. Caddis Creek will help you gather your initial cost estimates and represent your interest when working with local, state, and federal emergency management.
Training & Education
One of our primary goals is to assure that our clients fully understand the processes and policies that guide the disaster recovery process. We teach as we go, so that your organization will be better prepared for future events. We also provide a free annual training and immediate policy updates and interpretation to our Blue Skies Contract clients.
