Electric distribution cooperative · Illinois
Southern Illinois Power Cooperative is an electric distribution cooperative in Illinois. Across 5 federally declared storm disasters between 2002 and 2011, FEMA has obligated $1,099,748 in Public Assistance funding toward 12 recovery projects — an average of $220K per event. The incident types on record are severe storm, tornado.
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 Illinois, Southern Illinois Power 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.
