SUMMARY:Contracting After Disasters – Hurricanes, Wildfires, and More
DESCRIPTION:We’re doing it again!! Grab a cup of coffee, and join us Fri. March 1st at 7:15am for a repeat of yesterday’s training.\n\nWhether from natural disasters or coordinated attacks, every state is faced with a crisis at some point or another. Following every disaster, APEX Accelerators are inundated with phone calls of “How can I get FEMA contracts?” and every year, my answer is always the same: “Once disaster strikes, it’s already too late”. Contrary to popular belief, contracting during disasters doesn’t start with FEMA.\nIn emergencies, contracting rules change and misinformation is prevalent. Learn how contracting during disasters really works, so that you can prepare BEFORE disaster strikes. Topics include:\n\nHow disasters get declared and who is in charge\nContracting with your State and local governments during disasters\nChanges and flexibilities in acquisition rules, dollar thresholds, and FAR Parts 18 and 26\nDoing business with FEMA\nThe role of the US Army Corps of Engineers\nRequired registrations\nLocating solicitations, needs, pre-awarded contracts, and forecasts\n\nTo receive your meeting code, please click here\nSpeaker: Jennifer Whittington, CAS, CPP\nSenior Contract Specialist, NW Louisiana APEX Accelerator\n\n\n\n
