Experience
Public Assistance (PA) Technical Assistance Contract (TAC) Central Region, U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Tidal Basin has been a member of the Central Team for the Public Assistance Technical Assistance (PA TAC) contracts 4 and 5 from 2020 onward. Under these contracts, our team deploys a staff augmentation role to help FEMA deliver the Public Assistance program to eligible applicants and sub-applicants.
