When national emergencies or natural disasters occur, supplies and services need to be rushed to affected areas quickly. Small businesses can contract with the federal government to assist in relief and recovery efforts following a major disaster.
Government agencies search the Disaster Response Registry to find contractors that can help respond to disasters, offering debris removal, distribution of supplies, reconstruction, and other disaster or emergency relief supplies and services. When you register your business with SAM, indicate you want to participate in the Disaster Response Registry, and provide the required information on the Disaster Response Information page.
Local firms affected by a Presidential major disaster or emergency declaration may be given contracting preference.
