Case Study: Bay County, FL achieves faster flood management and FEMA reimbursement with OpenGov

Bay County, FL recovers millions in FEMA reimbursements with OpenGov

Bay County, FL faced significant challenges in managing flood repairs and securing FEMA reimbursements. Their Public Works department relied on paper maps and employee memory for asset tracking, leading to inefficient repairs and lost revenue after natural disasters. They turned to OpenGov for its Enterprise Asset Management solution to centralize their data.

Using OpenGov's mobile field app and its seamless integration with Esri ArcGIS, the county documented thousands of assets and enabled real-time condition tracking. This allowed for proactive maintenance and precise cost tracking. The results were substantial: OpenGov helped Bay County compile FEMA reports in days instead of weeks, securing millions in reimbursements by tracking expenditures down to the penny and providing clear accountability for repairs.
