What we’ll cover

Selecting a contractor and agreeing on a plan for your disaster rebuild is like getting married: it's a long-term commitment that will shape your life for years to come. Whether you're just starting to find vendors, or are about to sign a contract, a Bright Harbor advisor can help you evaluate your options and increase your confidence.

Evaluate readiness to rebuild

We will determine your readiness to move forward with a general contractor based on your insurance, legal and financial scenario.

Set expectations for your rebuild

How long do different rebuild types take? What questions should you ask? How much should things cost? What are red flags to watch for?

Discuss contractor alternatives

Compare and contrast options, discuss competitive bid opportunities, and clarify your criteria.

Criteria

As a Bright Harbor Advisor, you will be part of a nationwide network that activates during major disasters.


You will connect with survivors remotely, help them understand their recovery options, and guide them through every stage of rebuilding, from the first assessment to connecting with services and support.

Advisors are at the heart of our mission and serve as the main point of contact for families and individuals throughout their recovery journey.

Flexibility

Disasters can strike with no warning. You should be available to activate on short notice, part-time or full-time, when disasters occur.

Lived experience or expertise

Experience is not required. If you have lived through a disaster and want to help others do the same, or if you have worked in disaster response or recovery, housing support, case management, or community rebuilding, we'd love to hear from you. Strong communication skills, organization, and empathy matter most.

Grit and character

You're a self-starter who takes initiative, stays organized, and follows through. You should be an excellent communicator who leads with empathy and emotional intelligence. We're looking for people who are dependable, ethical, and motivated by a genuine desire to help others rebuild.
