CompliAid LLC, an emergency management technology startup, today announced the launch of its innovative platforms designed to streamline disaster recovery processes and support frontline professionals. The company's solutions address critical challenges in FEMA Public Assistance documentation and mental health support for first responders.
Founded by Joseph Moore, a technical specialist with extensive experience in FEMA Public Assistance and disaster recovery operations, CompliAid has developed two primary platforms to serve the emergency management community. The company's flagship platform, REACT (Recovery Eligibility and Compliance Tool), helps localities, agencies, and frontline professionals navigate complex compliance requirements while reducing administrative burden and costs.
REACT streamlines FEMA Public Assistance documentation, procurement compliance, and Category Z management cost tracking. By automating and simplifying the documentation process, REACT enables faster disaster recovery while ensuring compliance with federal requirements.
Because FEMA Public Assistance is a reimbursement program, communities must often spend millions up front with the expectation of repayment. But when documentation is incomplete or procurement steps aren’t followed precisely, those reimbursements can be denied — leaving local governments on the hook for the balance. For small and mid-sized localities, that often means hundreds of thousands of dollars in unrecovered costs; for larger projects, it can reach into the millions. For example, Bay County, Florida had a FEMA claim of over $1.6 million denied due solely to missing documentation, not to ineligible work (fema.gov). With FEMA obligating more than $20 billion annually in disaster assistance, even small percentages of rejected or delayed claims represent massive financial risk for communities. REACT is designed to close this gap by simplifying compliance, ensuring every eligible dollar gets captured, and helping both localities and FEMA move through recovery faster.
In addition to its compliance platform, CompliAid offers AfterShift, a digital wellness companion for first responders and healthcare workers. Research shows that nearly 30% of first responders develop behavioral health conditions such as PTSD or depression, compared to about 20% in the general population. AfterShift provides a simple, accessible way for frontline professionals to decompress after stressful shifts. Where REACT reduces the administrative burden of recovery, AfterShift addresses the human burden — together advancing CompliAid’s mission of putting people over paperwork.
The company's mission centers on putting people over paperwork by combining cutting-edge AI technology with deep subject-matter expertise. This approach aims to reduce red tape, support mental health, and ensure effective use of taxpayer dollars during crisis situations.
To bring these tools into the field, CompliAid is inviting localities, agencies, and emergency management organizations to participate in pilot programs and partnerships that will shape the future of disaster recovery.
