We help Puerto Rico municipalities and public entities recover denied or underfunded FEMA Public Assistance funding through expert appeals, documentation strategy, and compliance support.
Islote Recovery Group was founded by a former FEMA Appeal Analyst who spent years on the inside reviewing Public Assistance applications and writing determination memos for disasters across Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.
We know the process from both sides. That insider knowledge is your strategic advantage when appealing denied claims, navigating documentation requirements, or preparing your municipality for the next disaster.
We serve PR municipalities and public entities only — deep local expertise, no generalists.
Our JD gives your appeals a legal edge that pure technical consultants can't match.
Contingency-based and retainer models available. We align our success with yours.
Every service we offer is purpose-built for Puerto Rico municipalities, public corporations, and nonprofits navigating FEMA Public Assistance programs.
Denied or underfunded Project Worksheet? We prepare and submit technically and legally sound appeals that get results. 100+ approved memos written.
Get it right the first time. Full review, preparation, and submission support for Public Assistance grant applications across all disaster types.
Avoid costly audit findings and clawbacks. We review your documentation, procurement, and processes against current FEMA policy requirements.
Navigate the final stage of FEMA projects with confidence. We manage close-out documentation, reconciliations, and final audits to protect your funding.
Build recovery frameworks before disaster strikes. Hazard mitigation planning, documentation systems, and pre-disaster agreements that accelerate recovery.
Keep your staff up to date on FEMA policy changes. Custom workshops and policy briefings for municipal teams and administrators in English or Spanish.
We assess your situation — active disasters, denied claims, open projects — at no cost and identify the highest-value recovery opportunities.
We conduct a thorough review of your Project Worksheets, correspondence, and supporting documentation to identify weaknesses and opportunities.
We build a legal and technical argument strategy and draft your appeal or application, citing current FEMA policy and supporting evidence.
We submit on your behalf and actively follow up through the review process until a final determination is issued — and appeal again if needed.
No other firm combines FEMA's internal review experience with a legal degree and exclusive focus on Puerto Rico public entities.
We work only with Puerto Rico municipalities and public entities. No diluted attention from mainland clients or unrelated sectors.
Our JD allows us to argue your appeal with legal precision — citing statute, policy, and regulation — not just technical narrative.
Having written determination memos ourselves, we know exactly what FEMA reviewers scrutinize and how to address their concerns proactively.
Contingency-based fee options available — we only win when you win. Your recovery is our business model.
