Prepare
The most effective and efficient recovery process does not begin after disaster strikes — It begins before. A community that “prepares” in advance for the potential of a serious event, is a community that will “recover” and return to an improved state of normalcy much quicker than those communities that employ “chance” as a strategy. That’s why communities rely on our “Recovery Ready” service to ensure they are fully prepared to deal with the complex recovery process. In the recovery phase of a disaster, many eligible entities realize they are woefully deficient in this critical element. These problems can be avoided or at least limited in scope by proper disaster preparedness planning and documentation. Our unique “Recovery Ready” service goes beyond the reactive measures commonly associated with disaster response. We work closely with clients to evaluate and update policies, ensuring full compliance with all grant requirements. Through this thorough process, we aim to mitigate potential problems and deficiencies in the procurement of goods and services, documentation of damages, and maintenance of personnel and facility records. By addressing these critical elements in advance, our clients are well-equipped to navigate the complex recovery process efficiently when disaster strikes. Our team is dedicated to offering strategic guidance, expert consultation, and robust planning to ensure our clients are not only prepared but positioned for success in the face of adversity.

Respond
No amount of pro-active, pre-disaster measures achieved can fully prepare a community for the devastating impact of a catastrophe on the scale of a Presidentially declared disaster. When that happens, and in the immediate aftermath of the event, communities must leap into action. This is when it is vitally important for those same communities, and eligible entities of future federal funding assistance, to be able to rely on a highly capable and trusted firm — a firm that can assist the community turn a negative into a positive, by helping the client immediately navigate the complexities of state and federal disaster relief funding opportunities. This is where clients find the counsel, advice, and action of The Integrity Group, to be exceptionally valuable towards “anticipating and advocating” for future recovery needs, so that the risk and potential for state and federal “funding claw backs,” are greatly reduced. No community wants to have the promise of funding, only to be told months if not years down the road, they must return some of the monies to the original funding source, simply because that community did not fully understand and anticipate the many procedural hurdles that must be crossed. This is where The Integrity Group’s value proposition truly shines through, by ensuring that this scenario does not happen with our clients and their recovery needs.
