2011 Beth Mortimer Award Winner Announced!

Congratulations to Bob Harris (Inspector # P00189)! Bob started as a FEMA Housing Inspector in 1994 and has been with PB since 1995 when we were awarded our first FEMA contract. His dedication to the project is demonstrated by his willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done. He has a wealth of knowledge about the program which shows in every inspection he completes. His customer service with applicants is impeccable.  During his 16 year career Bob has been on 75 disaster deployments, including American Samoa, Puerto Rico, and NY following the events of 9/11. Having completed in excess of 21,000 initial inspections, and over 2,000 QC inspections, Bob would be considered by most accrediting agencies to be an expert inspector. He has completed every other inspection type there is: Appeals, Re-inspects, Congressionals, Media and Remote inspections. He has also assisted with the FQA Program and goes out of his way to help new/struggling inspectors by accompanying them on ride-along inspections or sharing his personal experience with them. According to Bob, “This program is about the applicants.  We need to do whatever is necessary within our program parameters to help ensure that their needs are met following a disaster.”
