In today's episode, we discuss the process of working with FEMA in the aftermath of a disaster and give you some advice for small businesses seeking government contracts. It is important to note that FEMA has to plan for disasters in advance and cannot wait until after a disaster to identify contractors and vendors.

With that, I encourage businesses to look for bid opportunities with FEMA before a disaster strikes. Here's an important reminder: I advise against relying solely on the Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) for help with government contracts, as PTAC may not assist startup businesses that have been in operation for less than two years.
