In a world where disasters, whether natural or man-made, can strike at any moment, every state must be prepared to handle crises efficiently. When a disaster strikes, contractors often scramble to secure FEMA contracts. However, the common misconception is that the process begins with FEMA, when in reality, by that point, it’s already too late.

During emergencies, contracting rules undergo significant changes, misinformation spreads like wildfire, and many small businesses–eager to tap into government spending–find themselves lost in the chaos. This webinar aims to shed light on the truth behind contracting during disasters.

Join us for an enlightening session where we delve into the intricacies of disaster contracting. We will explore key topics such as:

• Understanding the declaration of disasters and the chain of command
• Navigating the landscape of contracting with state and local governments during crises
• Adapting to changes and flexibilities in acquisition rules, dollar thresholds, and FAR Parts 18 and 26
• Unraveling the process of doing business with FEMA
• Spotlighting the crucial role played by the US Army Corps of Engineers
• Reviewing essential registrations required for disaster contracting
• Learning about strategies for locating solicitations, identifying needs, accessing pre-awarded contracts, and forecasting opportunities

Prepare to arm yourself with valuable insights that will not only demystify the complexities of disaster contracting but also enable you to proactively mitigate risks and maximize opportunities when emergencies strike.

Target Audience: Small business owners, resource partners, APEX Accelerators
