Disasters, Strategies & Ideas Group, LLC (DSI Group) is an emergency management consulting company performing emergency management and disaster services with a solid history of outstanding performance.

DSI Group was established by former State of North Carolina and State of Florida Emergency Management Director Joe Myers in 2003, to provide emergency management and disaster services to state, local, and federal governments. Headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida, DSI Group serves Florida and the Southeast with a team of professionals who are subject matter experts in all aspects of emergency management and disaster services. DSI Group’s primary focus is on planning, training, exercises, and emergency management for grant management services.

DSI Group is one of the nation’s leading emergency management firms for the processing of FEMA Direct Administrative Costs (DAC). Since 2012, we have processed over $1 billion in reimbursable expenses using a disaster funding software designed to track the information needed for FEMA compliance. We believe it is the most effective system in the nation, and the same system for tracking DAC costs could be put to use for any State, County, City, or sub-recipient. DSI Group’s executive staff has the experience and depth of resources needed to provide expert emergency management consulting services for all five phases of emergency management: mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery, and long-term recovery.
