      <image:caption>Disaster Law and Consulting (DLC) was formed for the purpose of providing the highest level of consulting assistance to Counties, Cities and certain non-profits as they prepare for and recover from disasters. DLC is operated and staffed by experienced disaster professionals that will help lead entities out of the chaos caused by a major event. Importantly, DLC can be retained without any formal procurement under Florida law [and the laws of many other states] and FEMA will reimburse the administrative costs without question. Our primary service is FEMA disaster grant management. Our staff has decades of experience in the area and has developed hundreds of millions of dollars of Public Assistance projects across the country, including in Florida, Kentucky, and Texas. We have assisted many clients with the compilation,  documentation, and submission of claims for COVID-19 cost reimbursement and have thus developed special expertise in this area. After Hurricane Ian, we assisted numerous clients in Southwest Florida recover from the storm and developed over $10 million in projects. Recently, we have been working with small governments and non-profit entities as they recover from Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Our services also include the development of FEMA appeals. Since the firm is owned by an attorney that was the former General Counsel of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, we have filed hundreds of FEMA appeals, perhaps as many as any firm in the nation. We are committed to ensuring that our clients receive their maximum federal reimbursement from every disaster. DLC’s primary goals are to assist their clients be prepared for disasters, to ensure that their FEMA disaster grant management process maximizes federal reimbursement, to challenge any adverse decisions from FEMA, and advocate for the expeditious dispatch of recovery funds to our clients.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The FEMA grant management process can involve millions of dollars for local governments and it is a process closely bounded by statutes, regulations, and precedent. Yet, few, if any, companies that provide disaster grant management services have a lawyer, never mind being owned and operated by one. This means that your claims and issues throughout the disaster process will be viewed through a legal lens that will assist in the maximization of your reimbursement and the virtual elimination of downstream issues and or deobligations with FEMA.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>DLC primarily operates by an hourly-fee structure. Even though directed by an attorney, our grant management rates are very competitive and in the lower end of the cost spectrum for the industry. The cost for direct legal services from Mr. Ettore will be higher and can be negotiated as needed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the best advantages of working with DLC is that as a lawyer providing a legal service, no formal procurement or solicitation is necessary to contract with us under Florida law [see §287.057(1)(e)4.]. So, we can be hired immediately to assist with your FEMA grant management issues. DLC’s costs have been reimbursed to many clients as Direct Administrative Costs without any type of formal procurement, so we have established that the direct hire of DLC is appropriate and legal under Florida law and FEMA regulatory policy.</image:caption>
