Redstone Government Consulting Blog | COVID-19 (3)

As every government contractor is no doubt aware, no business is immune (no pun intended) from the potentially devastating economic impact of the global coronavirus outbreak. As we confront new restrictions, with the possibility of more to come, on both businesses and employees that could last for months, the costs continue to mount.

In our line of work supporting government contractors, we get to see on a first-hand basis the level of our preparedness as a Nation to deal with the most complex challenges the world can throw at us.  We are reminded of similar challenges our Nation has faced over its relatively short existence and the ingenuity, speed, and compassion for our fellow Americans that was put into the response to those efforts.  In every instance, we have weathered the storm and come out on the other side stronger for it.  No disaster response will ever be perfect; if they were, we wouldn’t call them disasters, emergencies, or other terms denoting their unexpected and undefined nature.

Redstone GCI is currently monitoring the Families First Coronavirus Response Act bill passed by the House over the weekend, which will provide a number of economic, policy, and regulatory benefits in response to COVID-19. We are closely following the bill as it progresses through the regulatory process to be finalized.
