Processing and disbursing disaster recovery funding is complex. To avoid unnecessary delays and speed Å·²©ÓéÀÖ delivery of aid to subrecipients, it’s important to have Å·²©ÓéÀÖ appropriate resources and processes in place well before a disaster hits.

COR3 was also recognized by FEMA and Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Government of Puerto Rico for providing compliant VAYGo (Verify As You Go) audited files.
