FREDA is designed to support disaster recovery across all 50 states and U.S. territories, with guidance organized around the jurisdiction, funding source, disaster, and program that apply to you.
The current desktop library includes all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. Additional territory and program libraries are configured during implementation.

A few questions before we meet.
What is FREDA, and who is it for?
FREDA stands for Federal Recovery Executive Digital Agent. It provides AI-assisted disaster recovery research and guidance for agencies, grantees, program teams, contractors, consultants, nonprofits, and disaster survivors. It supports informed human decisions; it does not determine eligibility, award benefits, or replace a case manager.
Does FREDA cover all 50 states and U.S. territories?
FREDA is designed to support all 50 states and U.S. territories. The current desktop library includes all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam; other territory and program libraries are configured during implementation. Source coverage and currency are reviewed for each implementation.
Can FREDA cite the governing authority behind a recommendation?
Yes. At your request, FREDA can provide citations to applicable governing authorities where those sources are available in the configured library or research results. Ask for the source, section, date, and link when available, and an explanation of how it relates to your program and jurisdiction. Distinguish binding requirements from guidance or suggested practices. Check citations against the current official source; if supporting authority cannot be located, the recommendation needs further review.
How is FREDA information vetted for accuracy and relevance?
An AI-generated answer is not an authoritative program determination. Before using it, check the cited official document, publication and effective dates, funding source, jurisdiction, and amendments or waivers. For a scoped implementation, the team and customer agree which libraries to use, who reviews outputs, and how updates and gaps will be handled. Review frequency, coverage, and approval controls must be confirmed for that deployment.
What is involved in a pilot, and how is pricing set?
Start with one recovery challenge, a defined source set, and agreed review needs and evaluation goals. Scope, users, support, integrations, pricing, and deliverables are discussed before work begins. A focused pilot can help establish whether a broader implementation is useful.
