Electric distribution cooperative · South Dakota
East River Electric Cooperative is an electric distribution cooperative in South Dakota. Across 12 federally declared storm disasters between 2005 and 2023, FEMA has obligated $7,045,350 in Public Assistance funding toward 30 recovery projects — an average of $587K per event. The incident types on record are 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 South Dakota, East River 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.
