READY TO HELP WITH POST HURRICANE SANDY RECOVERY EFFORTS
One of the worst aspects of post-disaster recovery is getting properties restored. It should be both quick and simple, but often it is becomes more complex than it needs to be because of delays in assessing the damage, agreeing the repair scope and finding the right contractors to undertake the work.From first-hand experience as both project manager and cost manager/damages expert, Rider Levett Bucknall understands the process of repairing buildings and other structures that have been damaged by natural disasters including, importantly, how to liaise with the numerous government agencies which become involved in reconstruction efforts. These agencies include FEMA, State Emergency Management offices, National Emergency Management Organizations, and private sector organizations.
Rider Levett Bucknall has close to 20 years experience working with FEMA in the aftermath of and recovery from natural disasters. Our first interaction with FEMA was in late 1992 after Hurricane Iniki struck the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
