Meriwether Lewis Electric Cooperative is an electric distribution cooperative in Tennessee. Across 16 federally declared storm disasters between 1999 and 2026, FEMA has obligated $11,104,479 in Public Assistance funding toward 68 recovery projects — an average of $694K per event. The incident types on record are severe ice storm, 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 Tennessee, Meriwether Lewis Electric Cooperative 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.
