Our approach
Good ideas do not get funded; well-documented projects do. We identify projects from your mitigation plan and risk assessment, scope them to what a program will fund, and build the benefit-cost analysis in FEMA's toolkit so the project clears the threshold before the application is written.
Project development
From mitigation action to fundable project.
- Project identification: Candidate projects drawn from the mitigation strategy, risk assessment, and recent damage.
- Scoping and cost estimation: Scopes of work and cost estimates developed to program requirements.
- Prioritization: Projects ranked by risk reduction, feasibility, cost, and funding fit.
- Environmental and historic review: Early screening of environmental and historic preservation issues that affect eligibility.
Benefit-cost analysis
The number that decides.
- FEMA BCA Toolkit analysis: Benefit-cost analysis prepared in the FEMA toolkit with documented inputs.
- Data development: Damage histories, hazard data, and asset values assembled and documented.
- Alternative analysis: Comparison of project alternatives to find the one that clears the threshold.
- Review-ready documentation: A BCA package that withstands state and FEMA review.
Why High Street?
High Street has prepared mitigation projects and benefit-cost analyses that have been funded, and we know which assumptions reviewers challenge. We tell you early whether a project will clear the threshold.
