S&S Recovery Solutions, LLC.™ was founded on the principle that Knowledge is Key™. While federal and state funding sources have published laws, regulations, rules and guidelines – these guidelines are subject to vast and varying interpretations. Our experience shows that when grant recipients learn the rules and approach their recoveries in a proactive manner, that interpretation is inconsequential. Simply put, if you are doing things correctly, the issue is not trying to change an opposing interpretation, but rather locating the party who knows you are correct. FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate once opined: “When we began our respective (Who else is Craig referring to here? It should be noted.) tenures at FEMA, we encountered a host of FEMA ‘urban myths’—Agency folklore consisting of ’stories’ about the application of FEMA authorities usually believed by their tellers to be true. As we delved deeper into these beliefs, we often learned they were persistent, but based on erroneous or needlessly inflexible interpretations of the Stafford Act.” (FEMA Combined Disaster Operations Legal Resource, 2012). With our vast experience in all facets of disaster recovery funding, including: property insurance, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding, we are able to cut through the myths and ambiguity, providing provide a solid pathway to financial recovery.
