Black Warrior Electric Cooperatives is an electric distribution cooperative in Alabama. Across 8 federally declared storm disasters between 2001 and 2023, FEMA has obligated $7,909,815 in Public Assistance funding toward 33 recovery projects — an average of $989K per event. The incident types on record are hurricane, severe storm, winter storm.

Every one of those dollars began as field documentation — GPS-tagged damage, force-account labor and equipment logs, and photo evidence assembled into FEMA Project Worksheets. When that capture is rushed or incomplete, eligible costs go unclaimed. CoopRecover is built by someone who has assembled this documentation for large federally declared events: field crews photograph and evidence-grade damage on any device, costs roll up live against estimated eligible dollars, and PA-ready packages export mapped to your own templates. When the next storm hits Alabama, Black Warrior Electric Cooperatives can capture more of what it's owed.

Capture more of what the next storm owes you.

CoopRecover turns field damage into FEMA-ready Project Worksheet packages in real time. Set up a pilot on your own data, no obligation.
