Our Approach

 

Recovery is where resilience is tested—and reimagined.
Disaster Science LLC helps communities, organizations, and businesses rebuild stronger, smarter, and more sustainably after crisis. Our approach combines recovery planning, funding guidance, and resilience integration to accelerate recovery while reducing future risk. We work alongside local governments, nonprofits, and private partners to ensure every investment contributes to long-term stability and renewal.

 

Core Recovery Services

 

Recovery Planning & Management Support: We develop comprehensive recovery frameworks that guide post-disaster decision-making, resource allocation, and interagency coordination. Our plans align with FEMA’s National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF) and prioritize equity, efficiency, and resilience.

 

Damage & Impact Assessments: We provide structured methodologies and tools for assessing physical, economic, and social impacts following disasters—creating the data foundation for federal assistance, resource prioritization, and strategic rebuilding.

 

Disaster Recovery Funding & Grants Guidance: We help clients navigate complex recovery funding mechanisms, including FEMA Public Assistance (PA), Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR), and other federal and state resources. Our team ensures projects meet compliance requirements while maximizing reimbursement and mitigation co-benefits.

 

Community & Economic Recovery Strategy: We support jurisdictions and organizations in designing recovery strategies that integrate housing, infrastructure, workforce, and economic revitalization—ensuring recovery investments strengthen long-term community wellbeing.

 

Resilient Rebuilding & Infrastructure Planning: We integrate mitigation and adaptation principles into post-disaster design, ensuring rebuilt infrastructure can withstand future events. Our guidance bridges recovery with climate resilience, sustainability, and local development goals.

 

Debris Management & Environmental Compliance: We create debris management and environmental review plans that accelerate cleanup while meeting federal reimbursement and environmental standards—reducing delays and protecting ecosystems during recovery.

 

After-Action Reviews & Capability Improvement: We conduct post-incident evaluations to capture lessons learned, measure recovery progress, and identify long-term capability improvements—helping clients evolve from recovery to resilience.

 

 

Why It Matters

Recovery is more than rebuilding—it’s transformation.
By aligning planning, funding, and design, we help communities turn devastation into opportunity, strengthening the systems that safeguard lives, economies, and the environment for generations to come.
