Electric distribution cooperative · South Dakota
Butte Electric Cooperative is an electric distribution cooperative in South Dakota. Across 6 federally declared storm disasters between 2006 and 2022, FEMA has obligated $3,751,412 in Public Assistance funding toward 25 recovery projects — an average of $625K per event. The incident types on record are severe storm, snowstorm.
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 South Dakota, Butte Electric Cooperative can capture more of what it's owed.
CoopRecover turns field damage into FEMA-ready Project Worksheet packages in real time. Set up a pilot on your own data, no obligation.
