The Webinar

Disaster response often relies on a mix of paper-based systems, disconnected technologies, and manual processes. This patchwork makes it challenging to capture all the hours worked by emergency response personnel.

A digital infrastructure removes critical barriers to maximize federal reimbursement. Join former FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate and AC Disaster's Alyssa Carrier for a discussion on modern approaches to emergency management challenges, including:

  • Capture every FEMA-reimbursable dollar
  • Deploy personnel and volunteers to their best use
  • Innovate to meet the needs of the post-COVID-19 world
  • Equip operations with learnings from the pandemic
