In the aftermath of this “once in a generation” storm, communities throughout western North Carolina were confronted with unprecedented damage and, in some cases, entire towns erased from the landscape. Working closely with fellow disaster response companies, engineering firms, government representatives, and local officials, SRP Partners is dedicated to helping impacted citizens rebuild their lives, businesses, and communities by:
Defining recovery activities, cataloging damages, and coordinating with state and federal partners to prioritize projects and maximize funding
Assisting with the development of Site Inspection Reports (SIR), Damage Description and Dimensions (DDD), and Scopes of Work (SOW) for all Helene-related projects
Compiling supporting documentation and detailed cost estimates to repair approved damages
Identifying alternate/additional funding opportunities to develop more resilient facilities
