Our comprehensive Public Assistance Financial Administration training prepares your community to plan for, respond to, and recover from disasters with the support of federal grant funding and other resources.
Disasters and emergencies impact communities each year, causing millions of dollars of damage. Federal disaster recovery funding provides important resources and is a critical part of recovery efforts, but the complex financial reporting and compliance requirements are often difficult to navigate, especially for local governments who are working in constrained post-disaster operating environments.
Our custom Disaster Recovery Public Assistance Training is a comprehensive program designed to address all aspects of financial administration when preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disasters to leverage the benefits of FEMA’s Public Assistance (PA) program, the agency’s largest grant program for local communities.
This training is tailored for those with little to no prior disaster experience. Our comprehensive curriculum equips participants to fully leverage FEMA’s Public Assistance program. We offer practical, actionable steps your community can take immediately before a disaster hits, so you are prepared to receive and manage disaster grant funding and other important resources.
At HSC, we leverage our proprietary AI-powered tool, Beehive, to assist in the design and delivery of high-quality, HSEEP-compliant tabletop exercises while ensuring that client data remains secure and confidential. Our unique approach combines AI-powered efficiency with human expertise, allowing the exercise process to be completed significantly faster and more cost-effectively than traditional methods.
We regularly achieve 60-70% time and cost savings with Beehive.
Beehive works by automating key HSEEP processes allowing for exercise experts to focus on customization and quality. The AI tool supports each stage of the planning lifecycle by continuously incorporating feedback from key meetings – the Concept and Objectives, Initial Planning Meeting, Midterm Planning Meeting, and Final Planning Meeting. This ensures documents are updated consistently through every HSEEP stage to reflect new inputs and evolving priorities.
When an exercise concludes, Beehive processes observation data and participant feedback to produce comprehensive After-Action Report drafts within minutes. These are reviewed and finalized by our evaluators. Beehive’s automation of the documentation process accelerates development and delivery, ensuring a custom exercise that is supported by the quality, depth, and precision of an AI tool.
Beehive encrypts and uses client data in real time, but never retains it or uses it to train other models. You can be confident that your data remains secure and under your control.
