There are only two firms in the U.S. with this specific relief funds management experience and an immediately available COTS product to perform the task. Only one of them, Storm Petrel, is a pre-approved federal government vendor on the GSA Schedule, simplifying procurement. Furthermore, its founder is not only a certified emergency manager, she is also a former EMS chief, critical care paramedic and biologist. Storm Petrel is the only firm (of the two available) with leadership that has hands-on expertise in responding to healthcare crises versus weather-based disaster responses and understands the dramatic differences in the responses required. Storm Petrel’s tool, Tempest-GEMS, is also the only tool that was designed to perform grant execution versus simply administration.
