During national emergencies like Hurricane Idalia in Florida and tornadoes across the Midwestern plain, standard procurement processes are waived as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) turns to pre-registered, pre-qualified vendors for support. With hundreds of billions allocated to disaster relief and recovery through 2024, FEMA has an unprecedented need for qualified contractors in support of FEMA's recovery mission.
FEMA is currently engaged in extensive recovery operations across the United States, including ongoing efforts related to the COVID-19 pandemic and specific disaster zones in Texas, the Midwest, Southeast, California, and Puerto Rico.
This briefing will explore FEMA's role in disaster response and recovery, and the procurement process for disaster relief services. Additionally, attendees will be shown an overview of relevant federal acquisition regulations and strategies companies can use to engage with FEMA.
Recommended attending personnel:
Businesses that can provide emergency products and services, construction services, logistics, and supplies are encouraged to attend.
