I can't even fathom our workload (State PA specialist) if we had to start writing these projects ourselves instead of the CRC.

Nevermind the money, we don't have a repository of subject matter experts to write them... We'd be looking for YouTube videos on "DIY hydroelectric dam repair" and probably be so backlogged that any disasters that take place in the immediate future wouldn't be closed out until the heat death of the universe.

Not to be weird, but I saw your comment on another thread about the massive 2019 disaster that is still being worked on. Are you in a midwestern state? If so, heyyy, I might know you 😅

But you’re 100% correct, we don’t have the bandwidth or resources to take on that work. I’m burnt out as is.
