“Disaster Scope has been invaluable in directing and coordinating our efforts to maintain participation in FEMA’s Seismic Hazard Mitigation Program for Hospitals (SHMPH). Planning for our hospital replacement facility has continued for an extended period and during this lengthy process FEMA de-obligated our project. Through Disaster Scope’s guidance and support, the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (OES) recently recommended that FEMA re-obligate our project. Utilizing Disaster Scope’s continued guidance, we are optimistic that our project will be reestablished in the program and we will receive full FEMA funding.”
