About Nick Grinstead

My previous professional experience can most accurately be characterized by research and education. I have specific professional experience with cost-benefit analysis, grant-writing/editing, and empirical modeling. I also have considerable experience with data collection and analysis.However, recently, my research and education experience has been utilized for the planning required by states and local governments in order to be eligible for funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that are directed toward projects that mitigate the effects of natural hazards throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Finally, I have professional experience with presenting to large groups and teaching. (Though I do not have the requisite certifications to teach primarily).Specialties: Planning; public finance and financial management; statistical and econometric analysis; economic and policy analysis, specifically education policy; cost-benefit analysis; regulation compliance

    Hazard Mitigation Grants Program Office At The University Of Kentucky; Kentucky Emergency Management May 2012 - Present
    Lexington, Kentucky
    I am currently in charge of the writing of the Commonwealth of Kentucky's hazard mitigation plan: To be eligible for funding from FEMA for hazard mitigation projects, a state must submit a hazard mitigation plan for all of its jurisdictions. Only after the state (the Commonwealth) submits a plan can the localities submit plans to be individually eligible for FEMA funding of mitigation projects. Local governments must also write a plan that will be the umbrella for all projects for which they request money from FEMA. I help write and edit these plans, procure data and run analyses for these plans, and ensure compliance with FEMA's expectations for plans.Local governments submit grants for monies from FEMA to be used for mitigating hazards. As a project manager, I will ensure compliance with FEMA regarding these grants. I will, then, be planning budgets, performing cost-benefit analyses, and, overall, evaluating projects once approved.
