“I am able to quickly plug the FEMA equipment cost codes into PubWorks, generate the estimate of damages, summarize all the costs involved with the disaster as well as attach photos to a project. This eases the FEMA reimbursement process.”
“During Sandy, we entered all the individuals and equipment we were using, along with the FEMA scheduled rates, Once that was in, each day as they went out to do work in the city, collecting debris or whatever, we’d track the trucks and equipment as it went out. We did that on a daily basis.”
"Our work crew manager tells us what the project is for the day. Our workers only have to tell us where they were, what equipment they are in, and what they are doing. We made it real simple for them."
"PubWorks has been a lifesaver for me. When I started my job at Stillwater County we were in the middle of a big flood FEMA event. Our guys had been doing emergency repair work on a lot of county roads. If not for the ease of data entry and the support from PubWorks I don’t know what I would have done. My FEMA liaison was extremely impressed by the reports that are generated at the push of a button."

"Just want to let you know that your support department is awesome and they are always here when I need them. Within minutes from my email I am getting a phone call to help me out with my problems. I totally love this program. Thanks for making my life and job easier!"
“The software is as advertised, easy to use, very comprehensive, and captures an incredible amount of information for use. Your support staff has provided outstanding service and are always available when needed.”
"PubWorks is one of the greatest tools we purchased for Road & Bridge. Because of our cost accounting capabilities in PubWorks, we are able to pinpoint and keep better track of our actual costs."
“The greatest value I see with PubWorks is the accountability that the department brings to the County and the ability to easily and effectively manage all our assets.”
“PubWorks is a program that I was able to use effectively within the first 2 weeks. It does not take a lot of training time to use the system on a daily basis.”
"Now we are creating histories for when calls come in, and when work orders are fulfilled. This helps us keep track of our employees, as well as flagging frequent problems at the same address. It also helps us with tracking reports, so we can say what it costs to do snow removal, or patch repair, or a particular project such as a bridge replacement."
"In 2011 we didn’t have PubWorks and dealing with FEMA was a nightmare. Once we started using PubWorks it became easier to satisfy FEMA requirements with the records we were able to provide. FEMA was happy to use the documentation and reporting that we produced."
“PubWorks broke down each task that was done during the disaster, and then our FEMA reps chose which of those tasks could be reimbursed, Before (PubWorks) that would have been really difficult, if they’d even have been able to do it.”
"It was a huge benefit to us, It was much easier than having to monitor two systems, and ensured that none of those requests was going to fall through the cracks."
"Pulling together all the requested information was a huge headache. But there wasn’t anything that he asked for that we couldn’t run out of PubWorks. And if there was something I couldn’t figure out, by the end of the afternoon PubWorks was able to create it for me."
