Bullock & Haddow LLC
Unprecedented Pressure.
A Golden Opportunity.
Local emergency managers are in a unique position to reduce community risk.
The ongoing response to COVID-19, together with an increasing threat from climate change and more frequent natural disasters, are among the many burdens on the time and resources of federal, state and local governments.
These challenges and opportunities come at a time when state and local staff are forced to operate at reduced capacity. The ability to pursue grant funding, identify hazard mitigation options, or even engage with the wider community of stakeholders competes with the immediacy of an ongoing and increasing spectrum of health, safety and environmental hazards.
When it comes to funding, federal grant matching requirements and associated rules, processes and timelines are often unclear. It is no surprise many emergency managers will not engage.
Have the right people and process
Our solution is unique and based on the experience of team member Ryan Miller. When disastrous flash floods struck Ellicott City, Maryland in 2016, Miller was the local director of emergency management.
With catastrophic damage and a complex recovery, he needed diverse guidance and a fresh perspective. Miller reached out to the other professionals who now make up our team. Aside from Miller who brings the local emergency manager perspective, our lean and agile team is comprised of former FEMA senior leadership, as well as experts in risk communication, public engagement, hazard mitigation, and grant funding.
We know emergency managers need extra firepower to leverage the opportunities available at this time. Our team, product, and process are designed to help you expedite and advance priority projects in your community.
