Earlier in his career, Chase supported housing recovery operations under the FEMA-funded Sheltering and Temporary Essential Power (STEP) program in the U.S. Virgin Islands following Hurricanes Irma and Maria. At the recipient level, he worked with Civix under its contract with Puerto Rico’s Central Office for Recovery, Reconstruction and Resiliency (COR3), serving as a Closeout Manager and training specialists on FEMA Public Assistance grant validation and project closeout following Hurricane Maria.

At the subrecipient level, Chase served as a consultant to local organizations in Southwest Louisiana, supporting FEMA Public Assistance grant management following Hurricanes Laura and Delta. His field experience also includes serving as a Task Force Lead and Debris Monitor during California’s 2018 Camp Fire response.

Today, Chase draws on that experience across the federal, recipient, and subrecipient levels to help communities navigate the FEMA recovery process with practical guidance grounded in the realities of disaster operations.
