What euds consulting does

EUDS Consulting is a Kentucky-based professional services firm founded in 2015 as Electrical Utility Disaster Specialists, Inc. by co-founders Gary E. Grubbs and Ken Smith. The firm provides FEMA Public Assistance applicant assistance, disaster recovery technical assistance contracting, hazard mitigation grant management, and electrical engineering services to local governments, hospitals, schools, electric and water/wastewater utilities, and eligible private nonprofits across the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Core service lines are FEMA Assistance (RPA process navigation, damage assessment, eligibility, cost estimating, appeals, closeouts), Disaster Recovery (delivered as a FEMA Technical Assistance Contractor subcontractor providing engineers, construction managers, project managers, insurance specialists, and related professionals), Hazard Mitigation (HMGP, FMA, and BRIC program grants), and Engineering Services (substation design, transmission and distribution studies, large-scale solar design, load calculations, arc flash studies, generator sizing, utility relocation, and drafting).

The business model is professional services fee-for-engagement. EUDS bills for consulting time and project deliverables; many applicant-side services are reimbursable to clients under the FEMA PA Program as eligible project administration costs, which aligns the firm's incentives with client recovery outcomes. GTM is sales-led and relationship-driven: direct outreach to local governments and eligible nonprofits in the wake of presidentially declared disasters, supplemented by FEMA subcontracting work that deploys staff nationwide through a distributed roster. The firm carries no disclosed proprietary technology platform; delivery relies on the expertise of its professional staff, which includes former FEMA employees and career consultants with 30-50+ years of experience in electric utility operations, civil/water engineering, and disaster recovery programs. No outside funding, parent company, or public listing has been disclosed.
