The funding clock
Recovery money depends on documentation
After a declared disaster, repairs on federal-aid highways can be reimbursed through FHWA’s Emergency Relief program, while damage to local roads usually goes through FEMA Public Assistance. Both depend on clear, site-by-site documentation.
How it works
From the field to the funding request
- 1
Inspect in the field
Crews record each damaged site on a phone with photos, exact coordinates and damage details.
- 2
Estimate and review
Damage estimates stay attached to each site, so supervisors can review them before anything is submitted.
- 3
Report
Generate DDIRs for FHWA Emergency Relief from the same data, and use it for FEMA Public Assistance on local roads.
