WHO WE ARE

Blue Sky’s professional, highly-experienced team of disaster recovery and mitigation experts—along with our corporate partners—offer a single source for all services necessary to ensure that any FEMA Public Assistance Program; FEMA Hazard Mitigation Program; USHUD Community Development Block Grant; or other Federal or State Recovery Program applicant or sub-applicant is completely and quickly positioned to receive maximum eligible support from all these sources in the aftermath of a declared disaster.

Our team has extensive, successful experience throughout Florida and other states in the complex and critical short and long-term recovery process. We understand FEMA Public Assistance, FEMA Mitigation and CDBG—and we always proudly work to maximize the return to our clients. We have zero audit criticisms—rare in this industry.

SUCCESS

We are well versed in the Stafford Act provisions, related laws and its implementation of regulations (44 CFR and 2 CFR 200), related to Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs, Special Considerations and Alternative Procedures.

STAFFORD ACT PROVISIONS

We have managed disaster recovery work in hundreds of counties, municipalities, special districts, and not-for-profits. Our team has specific and proven experience working with local entities in all regions.

PROVEN

We understand the difficulty and urgency of managing recovery funds while complying with state and federal regulations. Since 2011 our team has overseen the development, management and closure of over 5,000 FEMA disaster recovery projects with a value of nearly $2 Billion. As FEMA policy changes (which it does constantly) we quickly adapt to achieve.

COMPLIANCE

We offer a unique “just in time” delivery plan. We provide you the correct expertise only when you need it and only for the time needed! In the complex recovery process, when you need, we provide Recovery Experts, Grant Managers, Special Considerations Pros (mitigation, environmental, insurance, historical, beach), CPAs, Engineers, Information Techs and Financial Auditors/Analysts.

JUST IN TIME

One of the most important services we offer happens under “Blue Sky.” That is an assessment & corrective action to make our clients truly “Recovery Ready.” To overcome potential pitfalls, we thoroughly examine procedures; review procurements; and study documentation. We carefully align our clients with FEMA rules, so they are ready to navigate the recovery process and come out of the “gray sky” a winner.

RECOVERY READY

We fully understand Direct Administrative Costs (DAC) that are reimbursable by FEMA. We have written administrative claims approaching $30 million. These claims usually cover not only the often overlooked costs incurred by our clients—but also a huge percentage (virtually all) of Blue Sky’s services costs.

DIRECT ADMIN COSTS

We intently focus on quality assurance and compliance with FEMA policies—avoiding potential funding denials and de-obligations.
