Disaster construction

Thanks for the article! I am a gc based in Maryland. I want to start doing disaster construction it seems more meaningful all the way around. If I wanted to learn A to Z about it where would I turn to? Perhaps an article or state resource? I am fairly large and work with insurance often I just do know how different this is. Thankfully Anthony

Disaster response construction can be extremely rewarding. Making a living by helping communities rebuild and recover can be a true win-win when done right. While I'm not personally familiar with pursuing disaster relief work, here's what I was able to find. Keep in mind that you might be able to get more pointed suggestions or advice from someone who's already in that business or has performed disaster relief work. Plus, reaching out to any trade associations you may belong to could be really clarifying too.

How to get disaster relief work

For federal contracts, being registered with the System for Award Management (SAM) is a must. And, registering through US Federal Contractor Registration, Inc. (USFCR) could help guide you through the registration process. For insurance work, most insurance companies will use contractors they know and trust. So, reaching out to large insurance companies about getting on their lists of contractors could help to secure private work after disasters. Finally, for Maryland state and local jobs - reaching out to the Maryland Department of Labor might help to clarify what steps are necessary to contract for that type of work. Or, consulting a local Maryland construction attorney could help to navigate that landscape as well.
