Government Impact Survey: Capturing a high overview of local financial capacity.
FEMA: Federal Emergency Management Agency: Public Assistance Simplified Application. Recipients are states, tribes, or territories that receive and administer Public Assistance awards. Applicants are state, local, tribal and territorial governments, or eligible private nonprofits, submitting a request for assistance under a recipient’s federal award.
Applicants are empowered to drive their own recovery and directly apply for reimbursement without waiting for FEMA to assign a Program Delivery Manager.
FEMA is simplifying the process so applicants may directly apply for assistance through the PA Grants Portal.
Recipients should start setting up Grants Portal accounts for themselves and applicants at grantee.fema.gov so they can apply for assistance. Once an account is created, Applicants may submit Requests for Public Assistance to begin the application process.
