The challenge
Reimbursement depends on documentation
Every damaged home, public facility and road has to be documented before FEMA can fund the recovery. When assessments live on paper and in spreadsheets, reports take days to compile and gaps delay funding.
How it works
From the field to FEMA reimbursement
- 1
Capture in the field
Teams record damage on mobile with photos, locations and parcel data. Residents can also report damage for your team to validate.
- 2
Calculate and prioritize
Damage levels and estimates are calculated automatically, and dashboards show severity so you know where to send teams first.
- 3
Report and recover
FEMA forms fill in from the data you already collected. Then manage each Public Assistance project from formulation to closeout.

“What would normally take three to four days took one.”
Phillip Davis, Iowa emergency manager
Eleven days after Futurity certified 80 emergency managers at an Iowa HSEMD exercise, tornadoes struck Greenfield and the Des Moines area. Teams took the damage assessment app into the field.
From the field
“We have used the Futurity Platform to collect damage assessment data for seven federally declared disasters, including two hurricanes that affected Alabama.”
“The system received extremely positive reviews from those using the app to conduct damage assessments, with feedback that it enabled a very easy-to-follow and efficient process.”
