FEMA Releases New Recipients of Disaster Grants Guide

FEMA has published the New Recipients of Disaster Grants Guide, a centralized resource document providing state, local, tribal, and territorial governments with information on the essentials of Public Assistance (PA), Individual Assistance (IA), and the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). The guide combines pre-disaster preparation recommendations, program requirements, associated deadlines, and other information from all three grant programs. The guide also outlines the critical statutory, policy and procedural requirements for recipients of FEMA disaster assistance grants. The scope of the guide includes pre-disaster preparations and post-disaster actions and is tailored to an audience of current (or prospective) recipients of federal disaster grant funding.
