10 Inspection services When disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding and earthquakes strike, a rapid response is critical to recovery. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), through the Housing Inspection Services Program, provides emergency grants for survivors whose dwellings have been damaged as a result of a presidentially declared emergency or natural disaster throughout the U.S., its territories and protectorates. WSP USA serves as a prime Housing Inspection Services contractor tasked to deploy qualified inspectors to inspect and collect information on damaged dwellings and personal property. Based on this data, FEMA makes an award determination, often within hours of the completed application. We call on a large network of inspectors that are able to complete inspections within 24 hours of being deployed and are committed to providing quality and timely disaster housing inspections. This enables disaster survivors to receive needed assistance to rebuild for a better tomorrow. Above: During the past 21 years, we have completed over five million housing inspections for FEMA in connection with disasters.
