Emergency Management

When disaster strikes, state and local governments need to move quickly to help their communities – and to secure the funding they need to do so. There are often a number of relief options available, from FEMA Public Assistance (PA) funding to HUD’s Community Development Block Grant programs (CDBG-MIT, CDBG-DR) to the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) and all manner of coronavirus relief funds. But navigating how to apply, what expenditures are eligible, and even whether your situation qualifies in the first place can be difficult, especially amid the additional stressors and challenges presented by pandemics, hurricanes, floods, and other emergencies.

CohnReznick’s emergency management team improves recovery outcomes for clients, subrecipients and communities by creating and delivering expedient, robust, and compliant disaster recovery programs. Through our proven solutions, communities can minimize infrastructure downtime, resume key services more quickly, and reduce loss of funding through non-compliance.  

With more than 15 years of experience, we have earned the respect of government and commercial leaders by managing billion-dollar government programs as well as assisting numerous communities to prepare for, recover from, and mitigate against natural and manmade threats. CohnReznick is uniquely qualified and ready to help you prepare for and recover from disaster events. 

Government and commercial leaders trust CohnReznick to prepare for, recover from, and mitigate against natural and manmade threats. Our top priority: manage and safeguard funding.

Our “same goals, separate roles” philosophy is an essential principle for how CohnReznick engagement teams operate. It is our intention to closely align with our clients’ vision and use our proven ability, knowledge, and data-driven tools to ensure objectives are achieved. The result? Better and timelier assistance to communities.

By coordinating some of the most complex disaster recovery programs in our nation’s history, CohnReznick has proven its ability, capacity, and knowledge to meet state and local disaster recovery and emergency management objectives with proactive, impactful, and effective solutions. Contact us for detailed information on for work with pandemics, hurricanes, coastal storms, floods, and explosions.
