🏆 Last night, Tetra Tech Disaster and Emergency Management was honored to receive the American Public Works Association Project of the Year Award in the "Disaster or Emergency Construction/Repair – $75 Million or More" category for our consulting work with the County of Los Angeles Public Works, alongside ECC and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Headquarters following the 2025 Palisades and Eaton fires.

These fires caused profound loss across Los Angeles County, displacing families, damaging homes and businesses, and forever changing communities. It has been a privilege for Tetra Tech to support the county and its residents as recovery efforts have moved forward.

This recognition reflects the extraordinary commitment of the many people and organizations working together to help affected communities recover. We’re especially proud of the dedicated Tetra Tech professionals whose expertise, compassion, and tireless work contributed to this effort.

📸 More photos and project highlights are coming soon, but for now, we’re proud to celebrate this recognition and the remarkable team effort behind it. 👏

🏠 Now that the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act has been enacted, communities affected by disasters can start preparing now for the next round of CDBG-DR funding under the new statutory framework. The new law includes a range of reforms intended to make recovery more predictable, transparent, and responsive.

Here are five things communities can do now to get ready:
1️⃣ Seek early access to the new $5 million preliminary grant award.
2️⃣ Update action plan templates so they’re flexible and easy to revise.
3️⃣ Prepare for high-hazard building standard changes and how they may affect recovery plans.
4️⃣ Prepare procurement needs and templates now so you can move quickly after award.
5️⃣ Build strong working relationships with your HUD field office and HUD staff.

Communities that plan early will be best positioned to move quickly when funding becomes available.

Great news for disaster recovery and resilient rebuilding: The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act (H.R. 6644) recently became law. It includes major improvements to the CDBG-DR program through Sec. 504 – the Reforming Disaster Recovery Act. These changes will help move disaster recovery from uncertainty to clarity by:

• Codifying a permanent CDBG-DR framework in statute, with a three-year program sunset
• Creating a permanent Office of Disaster Management and Resiliency at HUD for more consistent administration and guidance
• Establishing a Long-Term Disaster Recovery Fund to help streamline future funding
• Requiring HUD to publish a transparent allocation methodology within 30 days
• Allowing preliminary grants up to $5 million so recovery work can begin sooner
• Strengthening mitigation, resilience, and LMI benefit requirements
• Improving performance accountability, spending timelines, and administrative flexibility

These reforms represent an important step toward a more predictable, transparent, and effective disaster recovery process – one that better supports communities when they need it most.

The Review Council’s final report points toward a major shift in disaster recovery, with more leadership at the state, local, tribal, and territorial level. For debris recovery, that could mean faster funding and a more streamlined Public Assistance process in the future. 🚧📁

One thing stays the same: documentation and accountability will still be critical. Contracts, scopes, disposal records, and cost support will continue to matter, even in a faster-moving system.

This is still a reform proposal, not current policy – but it’s a good reminder to stay prepared. Read the full report here:https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/IN/PDF/IN12693/IN12693.2.pdf

Procurement rules keep evolving, so it’s a good time to make sure your RFPs and contracts are doing the heavy lifting. 📝

A few things to keep in mind: keep your records complete, set clear performance standards, use liquidated damages language carefully, and check for any tribal or state-specific requirements.

When it comes to reimbursement, strong documentation matters just as much as strong contracts. ✅
