Disaster assessors, often referred to as inspectors, play a critical role after hurricanes, earthquakes, large fires and other natural disasters. Their role is an integral part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Individual and Households Program (IHP) Field Services Contract that provides emergency grants for property owners impacted by natural disasters. Between 2018 and 2021, the federal agency authorized home inspections for 1.4 million applicants.
