Doug is an expert in natural disaster response and recovery with extensive experience advising and implementing the FEMA Public Assistance program and construction projects.

Doug White has 18 years of experience in disaster recovery and more than 39 years of project management experience. His strong knowledge of engineering, eligibility, hazard mitigation, and project management has supported many clients in successfully recovering millions of dollars in funding for disaster recovery.

Some of Doug’s notable experiences include his roles as a mitigation engineer for FEMA after Hurricanes Ivan, Dennis, and Katrina, and as the State of Louisiana Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) technical team lead for Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Gustav, and Ike. He has hands-on experience reviewing proposals, contracts, FEMA PA project worksheets, and closeout documents. In Long Island, New York, Doug’s direction and advice helped turn a hospital repair project originally estimated by FEMA as a $23 million dollar repair into an obligation of $176.9 million in PA funding. He also played a significant role in developing and implementing the original staffing plan, initial tracking and reporting systems, and the processes and procedures for COR3 in Puerto Rico.

"My goal in the disaster management arena is to assist entities in responding and recovering from disaster events quickly and efficiently while maximizing federal funds to aid in that endeavor."
