Emergency Management, Grants, Resilience, Legislation, and Aviation
Government Jurisdictions
Public Advisors Group is a consulting firm specializing in emergency management, grant program development, resilience, legislation, and aviation. We help government agencies and community partners design, secure, implement, and refine initiatives that strengthen preparedness, response, recovery, and long-term community resilience.
Our team has extensive experience in grant writing, grant development, and grant administration across state, local, and nonprofit sectors, translating complex funding and compliance requirements into achievable projects with measurable impact. We also support clients in the full lifecycle of legislation development, from policy research and conceptual design to drafting statutory language, preparing testimony, supporting stakeholder engagement, and planning for practical implementation once legislation is enacted.
With executive level backgrounds in government operations, FEMA deployment, FEMA grant coordination, legislative development, and policy implementation, we provide clients with practical, results driven strategies that integrate resilience planning, emergency management best practices, and strong fiscal and administrative compliance.
Faith-Based Organizations
Public Advisors Group works with faith-based organizations seeking to strengthen safety, preparedness, and operational resilience while preserving mission, values, and community trust. Many faith-based institutions are eligible for public grant programs that support security improvements, emergency planning, and facility readiness. PAG helps organizations identify appropriate funding opportunities, prepare grant applications, and support implementation through responsible planning and advisory services. Our approach is tailored, practical, and aligned with the unique governance and stewardship responsibilities of faith-based organizations.
Areas of Practice
Legislative Strategy & Development
At Public Advisors Group, we don’t just help you navigate public policy, we help you shape it. With over a decade of hands-on experience working with state and local governments, community partners, and advocacy stakeholders, PAG provides expert support in every stage of legislation development, from concept to adoption.
What We Do
Policy Research & Analysis – We evaluate current statutory language, assess gaps or impacts in existing law, and identify opportunities for legislative improvement and innovation.
Drafting and Legislative Language – Our team crafts clear, actionable, and legally sound legislative text tailored to your goals and compliant with procedural requirements.
Strategy and Coalition Building – Developing legislation isn’t just about words on a page; it’s about building support. We work with your team to map key stakeholders, engage supportive partners, and create strategic messaging that resonates with legislators and communities alike.
Legislative Engagement & Advocacy Support – We advise on effective presentations to committees, hearings, and legislative offices — including preparation of briefs, talking points, and testimony to strengthen your cause.
Policy Implementation Planning – Good legislation requires thoughtful implementation. We help translate enacted laws into practical frameworks, including timelines, roles, and metrics for measurable success.
Why It Matters
Effective public policy results from strategic alignment of ideas, language, and influence. Whether you seek to introduce new legislation, revise existing statutes, or mobilize coalition support, PAG brings the policy expertise, process insight, and advocacy focus needed to turn conceptual goals into real, actionable outcomes.
