FEMA Provides An Additional $46.8 Million To Denver For COVID-19 Response

DENVER – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has provided $46.8 million in funding for COVID-19 response efforts in the City and County of Denver. This is in addition to $10.2 million that Denver received earlier through an expedited process. To date, FEMA has provided more than $387 million in Public Assistance funding for COVID-19 response statewide in Colorado. The assistance was made available under a major disaster declaration issued March 28, 2020.

The $46.8 million was provided to Denver for establishing and operating emergency congregate and non-congregate shelters in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Denver utilized contracted services to provide emergency sheltering to vulnerable members of the community needing isolation and quarantine. Such services include, but are not limited to, the following: facility leasing; staffing and support services; medical services; wraparound services; and, other related services.

Funding for this project is authorized under Section 403 of the Robert T. Stafford Act.

FEMA’s Public Assistance Program provides funding for emergency actions undertaken by communities to protect public safety, providing no less than a 75 percent federal share for eligible costs. President Biden has approved a 100 percent cost share for projects related to the pandemic response that include work completed between January. 20, 2020 and September. 30, 2021.

For the COVID-19 response, FEMA has simplified the Public Assistance application and funding process to address the magnitude of this event and to allow local officials to receive eligible funding more quickly.

These reimbursements play a critical role as state, local and tribal officials work tirelessly to assist their communities during this response.

FEMA Awards $4.1 Million to Create the EcoExploratorio Resiliency Institute

GUAYNABO, Puerto Rico – To support efforts on the island aimed at raising awareness of the importance of hazard mitigation, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awarded a $4.1 million grant to the EcoExploratorio Resiliency Institute (ERI). This unique center in Puerto Rico will provide guidance on resilience and other mitigation topics to the public. The funds are provided by FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. 

The Institute, which will be located in Hato Rey, will allow the public to access a disaster mitigation certification program tailored to the specific needs of the island. As part of its educational platform, the ERI will develop an online Training Center through a specialized learning program available on its website.

“Hazard mitigation goes hand in hand with all long-term recovery efforts on the island. It is important for everyone to know how they can contribute to a stronger Puerto Rico,” said the Federal Disaster Recovery Coordinator for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, José Baquero Tirado.

Likewise, the ERI curriculum will have simulators for hurricanes and earthquakes, as well as a community outreach area that will be the hub of its Training Center. This will allow for an innovative educational experience in order to train citizens in a virtual environment. The educational content and material that will be made available will be developed by experts, including scientific and academic researchers, with the support of FEMA and the Emergency Management Bureau.

“The Board of Directors of the EcoExploratorio. Inc. is honored to receive the support of FEMA in order to elevate the EcoExploratorio project to another level as the cornerstone and training axis for the development of more resilient communities in the face of the effects and impact of natural events in Puerto Rico. This will be the ‘center of gravity’ for education, so that our communities will have the tools to mitigate the impact of climate change, based on the experiences acquired over the past 5 years," said Ada Monzón, meteorologist and founder of the EcoExploratorio, Inc.

To date, FEMA has approved $71.1 million under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.

Mitigation aims to reduce the loss of life and property following a disaster through sustainable actions such as planning and zoning, and other measures that support long-term solutions.

"Without a doubt, the development of the EcoExploratorio Resiliency Institute is an asset for citizens who recognize the need to be prepared for the impact of a natural disaster. At COR3 we will serve as facilitators for the development of this important and innovative project," said Manuel Laboy Rivera, executive director of the Puerto Rico Central Office of Recovery, Reconstruction and Resilience, who noted that after hurricanes Irma and Maria, Puerto Rico received the maximum possible under the Hazard Mitigation program due to the magnitude of the disasters.

By identifying local threats, families, communities and municipalities can determine how best to locally reduce or mitigate hazards. Studies have shown that every dollar spent on mitigation activities saves an average of six dollars in future disaster costs.

FEMA Supports Vaccine Distribution: COVID-19 Response Update

WASHINGTON -- Acting FEMA Administrator Bob Fenton attended the opening of the vaccination center at Chicago’s United Center this morning, as another vaccination center opened in Greensboro, North Carolina. The center in Chicago -- capable of administering 6,000 shots per day -- can be reached from six transit lines and multiple city bus routes, with easy parking and proximity to the city’s major roadways. “The decision to locate this federal pilot vaccination site at the United Center was a data-driven one, with the primary goal of equitable access to the COVID-19 vaccine for Chicagoland’s [older adults] and socially vulnerable individuals,” said Fenton. “I would be remiss if I didn’t recognize the strong public-private partnership with the United Center owners and staff who made today a reality for the city and its most-vulnerable populations.” FEMA has provided more than $4.27 billion for expenses related to COVID-19 vaccination at 100% federal cost share. These funds cover critical supplies, staffing, training and transportation needs that support increased vaccination efforts, such as today’s center openings. Find out where, when and how to get a vaccine in your community and get more information from your local health department and a list of places where adults can get a vaccine.

FEMA Ensures Equitable Distribution of COVID-19 Vaccines

WASHINGTON -- FEMA has established the Civil Rights Advisory Group as part of the agency’s commitment to the COVID-19 vaccination mission amid the ongoing battle against the pandemic.

The advisory group’s mission is to evaluate the policies, practices, strategies and plans in place to ensure equity in vaccine access and administration. 

The advisory group, which created the Civil Rights Checklist to provide states, territories and tribes a list of civil rights considerations and resources to ensure equitable vaccine access, is led by FEMA’s Office of Equal Rights, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response and Administration for Community Living, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.

“Statistics from the CDC bear out the need to bring vaccines to underserved areas,” said Acting FEMA Administrator Bob Fenton. “African Americans are twice as likely than Caucasians to die of COVID-19, and Hispanics are 2.3 times more likely to die of the virus.”

These statistics highlight the importance of placing community vaccination centers in areas that are accessible to and prioritize underrepresented communities.

FEMA continues analyzing data and collaborating with states, territories, tribes and local public health officials to determine the best locations for FEMA pilot community vaccination centers, ensuring that underserved and historically marginalized communities have access to vaccines and are not left behind.

“States are in the best position to understand their resources – both health care providers and community resources,” said Fenton. “We rely on this understanding and perspective to validate and determine the appropriate location for FEMA-supported vaccination centers.”

Equitable Distribution and Access to Vaccines is a FEMA Priority

Equity is at the core of the FEMA mission, as the agency strives with partners to ensure everyone who wants a vaccine can get one.

States, territories and tribal nations are required to collect demographic data and make data-driven decisions to ensure an equitable pandemic response.

FEMA has civil rights advisors and disability integration specialists in each of its 10 regions to advise state, local, tribal and territorial governments and other partners, ensuring the needs of people with disabilities are integrated in all facets of vaccine center operations. Additional Disability Integration Advisors and Civil Rights Advisors are deploying to vaccination sites to support these efforts.

To support the deaf and hard of hearing community, FEMA continues providing live on-demand American Sign Language interpreters at all federally supported community vaccination centers during each center’s hours of operation.

FEMA continues using population data and CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index to identify communities for pilot community vaccination centers. The agency is also working with CDC staff and public health officials to engage community and faith-based organizations to help reach underserved, hesitant and historically marginalized groups.

“FEMA is also aware that there are certain categories of communities – for example, individuals experiencing homelessness or migratory workers – where it may be more difficult to accurately collect data,” said Fenton.  “FEMA is working with states to target vaccination efforts to these communities, despite any potential data gaps.”

Renters may be eligible for FEMA Disaster Assistance

DENTON, Texas –If you are a renter in one of the 16 counties designated for individual assistance and sustained damage or losses from the Oklahoma severe winter storms, you may be eligible for federal disaster assistance. 

The counties are Canadian, Carter, Cherokee, Comanche, Cotton, Hughes, Jefferson, Le Flore, McIntosh, Oklahoma, Okmulgee, Osage, Pittsburg, Stephens, Tulsa, and Wagoner.

If the house or apartment you are renting is your primary residence and is in one of these counties, you should register with FEMA to apply for grants to help with disaster-related expenses. If you have renter’s insurance, you should call your insurance agent to start the claims process before you contact FEMA. By law, FEMA cannot duplicate benefits for losses covered by insurance or grants from state, local or tribal governments.

Expenses for renters can include:

• Renting a different dwelling when the formerly occupied one is unsafe to live in due to the winter storms;
• Storm-related medical and dental expenses;
• Increased cost of child-care expenses;

• Other serious disaster-related needs not covered by insurance or other sources.

Rental grants may be used for security deposits, rent and the cost of essential utilities—such as gas or water. The grants may not be used to pay for separate cable or Internet bills. The grants are not loans, and don’t have to be repaid. They are not taxable income and won’t affect eligibility for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

To apply for federal disaster assistance:

• Visit DisasterAssistance.gov, or
• If you cannot register online, call the disaster assistance helpline at 800-621-3362 (TTY) 800-462-7585 from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week until further notice.

FEMA Supports Vaccine Distribution: COVID-19 Response Update

WASHINGTON -- Federally supported community vaccination centers are opening tomorrow in Chicago and Greensboro, North Carolina, adding to the more than 500 centers already operating nationwide.

Acting FEMA Administrator Bob Fenton is helping to open the vaccination center at Chicago’s United Center — geographically situated to support medically underserved communities in the west and south sides of the city and capable of administering 6,000 shots per day.

“We can proudly say it will soon be a center where tens of thousands of Illinoisans — grandmothers, grandfathers, mothers, fathers, siblings and friends — can gain access to one of the most important tools available to fight this global pandemic,” said Fenton. “But more than that, we are working to ensure that vaccinations reach underserved communities to meet our commitment to equity.”

FEMA has now provided more than $4.24 billion for expenses related to COVID-19 vaccination at 100% federal cost share. These funds cover critical supplies, staffing, training and transportation needs that support increased vaccination efforts, such as standing up and supplementing vaccination centers daily.

“In the past two weeks we’ve successfully launched 16 pilot community vaccination centers with our state partners coast-to-coast and are constantly reviewing data at these sites to ensure we’re reaching the most vulnerable in these communities, ensuring everyone who wants a vaccine can get one,” said Fenton.

Additionally, there are more than 50 mobile vaccination centers serving communities across the nation.

FEMA recently published an updated civil rights bulletin, “Ensuring Civil Rights in Multiple Disasters During COVID-19” to assist partners, communities and individuals with best practices for communities facing a disproportionate rate of COVID-19 illness and death.

To support the deaf and hard of hearing community, FEMA continues providing live on-demand American Sign Language interpreters at all federally supported community vaccination centers during each center’s hours of operation.

President Biden challenged federal agencies to help administer 100 million vaccines in 100 days. “We are well on our way of achieving that goal with more than 63 million doses administered last week,” said Fenton.

Find vaccine updates in your community and more information from your local health department to confirm if you can get a vaccine. You can also find a list of places where adults can get a vaccine.

FEMA Awards $110 Million to Oregon to Support Vaccination Efforts

BOTHELL, Wash. – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has awarded $110 million in federal funding to assist the Oregon Health Authority (0HA) and partners in operating dozens of COVID-19 vaccination centers throughout the state.

In coordination with the Oregon Office of Emergency Management, FEMA obligated this initial $110,082,859 at 100 percent federal cost share to support the state of Oregon to cover the costs of emergency activities, including labor, contract services, security, refrigeration, supplies, equipment, and facility rentals.

"These expedited funds are critical in the effort to ensure that our partners are able to provide vaccine access to residents of Oregon,” said FEMA Region 10 Acting Administrator Vincent J. Maykovich.

The FEMA-supported vaccination centers will have the capability to administer more than 2 million vaccines during the operational period of 90 days.

Grants for emergency protective measures are funded through FEMA’s Public Assistance Grant Program, which reimburses communities for actions taken for response and recovery from a disaster. FEMA reimbursement is paid directly to the Oregon Office of Emergency Management, which then makes disbursements to the local and tribal jurisdictions and state agencies that incurred costs.

“We are incredibly grateful for the continued partnership amongst hospitals, medical providers, volunteer organizations and so many others who have come together to help Oregon though this historic vaccination effort” said Director of the Oregon Office of Emergency Management, Andrew Phelps, “the Administration’s approval of our requested cost-share adjustment to 100 percent helps to ensure the cost of vaccinating Oregonians will not be a barrier to our recovery.” 

FEMA has streamlined the Public Assistance application and reimbursement process for the COVID-19 response in order to get funds to applicants faster. Expedited reimbursements help state, local, and tribal officials respond quickly to address immediate threats to life, public health, and safety.

FEMA Provides An Additional $24 Million to North Dakota for COVID-19 Response

DENVER – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has provided $24 million in additional funding for COVID-19 response efforts in North Dakota. To date, FEMA has provided more than $32 million in Public Assistance funding for COVID-19 response in North Dakota. The assistance was made available under a major disaster declaration issued April 1, 2020.

The $24 million was provided to the North Dakota Department of Public Health and Environment. They utilized materials and contracts to establish and operate a COVID-19 diagnoses - laboratory to assist in the management, control, and reduction of immediate threats to public health and safety. The department also extended their laboratory capacity, increased staffing, purchased laboratory equipment, supplies and software, and leased warehousing facilities.

All work for this project fell between October 1 and December 31, 2020. Funding for this project is authorized under Section 403 of the Robert T. Stafford Act.

FEMA’s Public Assistance Program provides funding for emergency actions undertaken by communities to protect public safety, providing a 75 to 100-percent funding share for eligible costs.

For the COVID-19 response, FEMA has simplified the Public Assistance application and funding process to address the magnitude of this event and to allow local officials to receive eligible funding more quickly. These reimbursements play a critical role as state, local and tribal officials work tirelessly to assist their communities during this response.

State Task Force is the Engine Driving West Virginia’s Vaccine Success

PHILADELPHIA - If West Virginia’s successful vaccine rollout is a speeding car, then the Joint Interagency Task Force (JIATF) is its engine – and the agencies on it are the pistons revving it up.

Once the COVID-19 vaccines became available, Gov. Jim Justice created the JIATF by executive order in December 2020 to map out a course of action for getting shots in arms.

Led by retired Adjutant Gen. James Hoyer, the task force included the Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR), the West Virginia National Guard (WVNG), the Division of Emergency Management (WVDEM), the Higher Education Policy Commission (WVHEPC), the West Virginia Hospital Association (WVHA), the Department of Agriculture (WVDAG), the Department of Education (WVDOE), the West Virginia Health Care Association (WVHCA) and the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine at Marshall University.

Housed in the drill hall of the state National Guard headquarters in Charleston and separated by an array of plexiglass dividers, the task force members can quickly communicate and share information to make decisions on the vaccination effort. Lines of communication are shortened, allowing for more nimble responses to challenges.

Together, the group devised a strategy that focused vaccines on the state’s seniors age 65 and above and its critical workforce, including healthcare workers and emergency responders. In addition, it came up with a hub and spoke distribution system that sends doses from regional depositories to pharmacies and county health departments statewide.

The result has been a vaccination effort that leads not only the nation but the world. To date, 11.7 percent of the state’s population is fully vaccinated and more than 500,000 doses have been administered. Since the start of the year, there has been an 85 percent drop in the state’s weekly coronavirus death rate.

“The JIATF’s approach represents speed and efficiency at its finest,” said Janice Barlow, Acting Regional Administrator, FEMA Region 3. “But more than that, their strategy is helping people in need , and FEMA is honored to be able to provide the resources to help ensure its continued success.”

The task force has expanded to include the West Virginia Primary Care Association, the state Board of Pharmacy, the Department of Corrections, representatives from the Vaccine Administration Management System (VAMS), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

In addition to helping coordinate clinics to reach underserved areas, the task force is now focusing its efforts on getting residents registered to receive the vaccine. Call centers have also been established with state and federal staffers, as well as volunteer organizations, to get residents scheduled for their shots.

West Virginians can pre-register for their COVID-19 vaccine at www.vaccinate.wv.gov or by calling the West Virginia COVID-19 Info Line at 1-833-734-0965. Visit https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/index.html for more information about the COVID-19 vaccine.

Incendios Forestales en Oregon: Los fondos federales y la colaboración estatal ayudan a las comunidades afectadas en el camino hacia la recuperación

Salem, Oregon – La Oficina de Manejo de Emergencias de Oregon y la Agencia Federal para el Manejo de Emergencias (FEMA, por sus siglas en inglés) continúan con su compromiso de ayudar a los sobrevivientes del desastre en Oregon, los negocios y las comunidades a reconstruir y recuperarse de los devastadores incendios forestales del año pasado. Hasta la fecha, se han destinado más de $262 millones en ayuda federal a personas, hogares y comunidades.

Los fondos federales ayudan a las comunidades afectadas a recuperarse

Hasta el 2 de marzo, FEMA ha aprobado más de $34.8 millones en asistencia individual para los propietarios de vivienda e inquilinos afectados por los incendios forestales en Oregon. Estos fondos federales proporcionan ayuda a los sobrevivientes en ocho condados aprobados para la asistencia individual de FEMA: Clackamas, Douglas, Jackson, Klamath, Lane, Lincoln, Linn y Marion.

La Agencia Federal para el Desarrollo de la Pequeña Empresa (SBA, por sus siglas en inglés) ha aprobado más de $59 millones en préstamos por desastre a bajo interés a 542 negocios, propietarios de vivienda e inquilinos.

3,091 personas y familias en Oregon han sido aprobadas para subvenciones federales a través del Programa de Individuos y Familias de FEMA para un total de aproximadamente $27.9 millones. De estos, 538 propietarios de vivienda recibieron la cantidad máxima de subvención de asistencia para vivienda disponible de FEMA ($35,500).

Además, se han aprobado más de $6.9 millones en ayudas para otras necesidades, con el fin de ayudar a los propietarios de viviendas a sufragar gastos por pérdidas de propiedad personal y de transporte, gastos fúnebres y otros gastos graves relacionados con el desastre que no fueron cubiertos por el seguro u otras fuentes.

Además, la Asistencia Directa de Vivienda Provisional de FEMA para los sobrevivientes calificados y sus familias en las comunidades más afectadas en los condados Jackson, Lane, Lincoln, Linn y Marion.

En la actualidad, estas unidades de vivienda provisional ya sean vehículos recreativos (RV) y unidades de vivienda prefabricadas (MHU) se están colocando en zonas alquiladas en varios complejos comerciales en el condado de Jackson.  El Cuerpo de Ingenieros del Ejército de los Estados Unidos también está construyendo sitios para FEMA en los condados de Jackson, Lincoln, Marion y Linn.

Hasta la fecha, 265 familias de sobrevivientes han sido aprobadas para recibir asistencia directa de vivienda provisional de FEMA en los cinco condados elegibles y más de 100 sobrevivientes y sus familias están actualmente autorizados a vivir en viviendas provisionales proporcionadas por FEMA.

El Programa de Asistencia Pública de FEMA (PA, por sus siglas en inglés), que ayuda a los gobiernos estatales, locales, tribales y territoriales y a ciertos tipos de organizaciones privadas sin fines de lucro a responder y recuperarse de grandes desastres o emergencias, ha asignado más de $159 millones para reparaciones bajo el programa PA. Esta subvención ayuda a cubrir los gastos de recogido de escombros, las medidas de protección de emergencia para salvar vidas y el restablecimiento de las infraestructuras públicas.

Coordinación entre agencias para la recuperación

El Plan de Recuperación de Desastres del Estado de Oregón establece siete Funciones de Apoyo a la Recuperación (RSF, por sus siglas en inglés) para coordinar las áreas de asistencia, cada una dirigida por una agencia estatal designada y apoyada por múltiples colaboradores estatales y federales. La Administración de Manejo de Emergencias de Oregon lidera este Equipo Estratégico Integrado de Recuperación de las agencias estatales y federales que apoyan la recuperación local de los incendios forestales.

Más de 24 colaboradores estatales y 10 federales están uniendo esfuerzos para ayudar a las jurisdicciones locales en la capacidad y planificación de la recuperación para maximizar los recursos estatales, federales y de los donantes para financiar la planificación de la reconstrucción de la comunidad y los proyectos de recuperación de desastres. El personal de Planificación Comunitaria y Desarrollo de Capacidades se está integrando con los condados y las comunidades para proporcionar asistencia específica.

Además, la comunidad filantrópica y sin fines de lucro es una parte integral del proceso de reconstrucción comunitaria, con recursos y asistencia técnica disponibles para apoyar los proyectos locales de recuperación y ayudar a desarrollar capacidad. Se han establecido contactos con más de 10 fundaciones, identificando las prioridades críticas de recuperación y las oportunidades de fondos para apoyar, y vinculando a los donantes con aquellos que necesitan recursos.

Лесные пожары в Орегоне: федеральные средства, сотрудничество штата помогают пострадавшим сообществам на пути к восстановлению

Салем, Орегон. Управление по чрезвычайным ситуациям штата Орегон и FEMA по-прежнему привержены оказанию помощи пострадавшему от орегонских пожаров населению, предприятиям и сообществам в восстановлении и преодолении последствий прошлогодних сокрушительных орегонских лесных пожаров.  На сегодняшний день семьи и сообщества получили федеральную  помощь на сумму почти 262 миллионов долларов.

Федеральные средства помогают сообществам восстанавливаться

По данным на 2 марта FEMA утвердило индивидуальную помощь для домовладельцев и съемщиков жилья в размере более 34,8 миллионов долларов.  Эти государственные средства обеспечивают поддержку пострадавшим в восьми округах, утвержденных FEMA на получение индивидуальной помощи: Клакамас, Дуглас, Джексон, Кламас, Лэйн, Линкольн, Линн или Марион.

Управление США по делам малых предприятий утвердило чрезвычайные займы для 542 бизнесов, домовладельцев и съёмщиков жилья и на общую сумму более 59 миллионов долларов.

3091 житель Орегона был утвержден на получение грантов для помощи с жильем на общую сумму почти 27,9 миллионов долларов.  Из этого числа 538 домовладельцев получили максимальный размер гранта на помощь с жильем (35 500 млн долларов).

Кроме того, была утверждена помощь на другие нужды в размере более 6,9 миллионов долларов, чтобы помочь домовладельцам с утраченным личным имуществом и транспортными средствами, расходами на похороны и другие значительными связанными со стихийным бедствием расходами, не покрываемыми страховым полисом или из других источников.

Кроме того, Жилищная миссия FEMA предоставляет временные жилищные решения удовлетворяющим критериям пострадавшим в округах Джексон, Лэйн, Линкольн, Линн и Марион.

В настоящее время эти временные жилищные решения в виде рекреационных транспортных средств (RV) и готовых жилых единиц (MHU) размещаются на местах, арендованных на нескольких коммерческих площадках в округе Джексон.  Инженерный корпус сухопутных войск США также сооружает площадки для FEMA в округах Джексон, Линкольн, Марион и Линн.

На сегодняшний день 265 пострадавших семей утверждены на получение прямой временной помощи с жильем от FEMA в пяти утвержденных округах, и более 100 пострадавших и их семей в настоящее время получили лицензии на временные жилищные решения, предоставляемые FEMA.

Программа государственной помощи FEMA, которая помогает администрации штата, местным, племенным и территориальным органам управления и ряду частных некоммерческих организаций реагировать и восстанавливаться после крупных стихийных бедствий и чрезвычайных ситуаций, выделила более 159 миллионов долларов на проведение ремонтных работ в рамках этой программы.  Эти средства используются для оплаты расчистки завалов, жизненно важных чрезвычайных мер защиты и восстановления повреждённой инфраструктуры.

Межведомственная координация восстановления

План штата Орегон по восстановлению после стихийного бедствия предусматривает семь функций поддержки восстановления (RSF) для координации помощи, каждой из которых руководит соответствующее агентство штата и оказывается поддержка многочисленных партнеров на уровне штата и федеральном уровне.  Управление по чрезвычайным ситуациям штата Орегон возглавляет эту интегрированную команду по стратегическому восстановлению, состоящую из агентств штата и федеральных агентств, поддерживающих восстановление после лесных пожаров в регионе.

Более 24 партнеров на уровне штата и 10 федеральных партнеров объединяют усилия для содействия местным юрисдикциям в наращивании потенциала и планировании восстановления для наиболее оптимального использования ресурсов штата, федеральных и донорских ресурсов для финансирования планирования застройки выгоревших районов и проектов по восстановлению после стихийного бедствия. Специалисты по общественному планированию и наращиванию потенциала взаимодействуют с округами и сообществами для предоставления целевой помощи.

Кроме того, сообщество филантропических и некоммерческих организаций является неотъемлемой частью местного процесса восстановления, и ресурсы и техническая помощь предоставляются для поддержки местных проектов по восстановлению и наращивания потенциала.  Были налажены связи с более чем 10 фондами, выявлены критические приоритеты процесса восстановления и возможности финансирования и установлены контакты между источниками финансирования и теми, кто в нем нуждается.

オレゴン山火事: 連邦補助金および州との協力体制が、被災地域復旧への道を支援しています

オレゴン州セーレム – オレゴン州の緊急事態管理局およびFEMAは、オレゴン州の被災者、ビジネスおよび地域社会が、昨年発生した破壊的山火事の被害からの再建と復旧が出来る支援をするというコミットメントを継続しています。 今日まで、オレゴン州の被災者家族や地域社会のために、約2億6,200万ドル近くの連邦支援が注がれています。

連邦補助金は地域社会の復旧を援助します

３月２日時点で、FEMAは、オレゴン州山火事の被害にあった住宅所有者もしくは賃貸人へ、3,480万ドルを上回る額の個別支援金を承認しています。これらの連邦補助金は、FEMA の個別支援が承認されている、クラカマス、ダグラス、ジャクソン、クラマス、レーン、リンカーン、リン、およびマリオンの８つの郡において、被災者支援を提供しています。

米国連邦中小企業庁は、542の企業と住宅所有者および賃貸人に、5,900万ドルを上回る低金利ローンを提供しています。

3,091 のオレゴン州民に対して、合計にして、ほとんど2,790万ドルに上る住宅支援金の授与が承認されています。そのうちの538の住宅所有者は、住宅支援の最高額 ($35,500) を受領しました。

そのうえ、個人資産、交通手段、葬儀費用およびその他の災害関連で深刻な損害を被った住宅所有者に、保険その他で賄われなかった費用をカバーする目的で、690万ドル以上のその他支援も承認されています。

FEMAはさらに、ジャクソン、レーン、リンカーン、リン、およびマリオン郡において有資格とされた被災者に、直接仮住宅プログラムを通じて住宅支援を提供しています。

現在、RVや組み立て住宅（MHU）などの仮住宅が、ジャクソン郡のいくつかの商業施設でリースされているパッドに設置されています。米国陸軍工兵隊が、ジャクソン、リンカーン、マリオンおよびリン郡においても同様なFEMAのサイトを建築中です。　

本日までに、対象とされる5つの郡において 265の被災者世帯が、FEMA の直接仮設住宅支援の受領承認を受けており、100以上に上る被災者およびその家族が、 FEMA提供の仮設住宅への入居ライセンスを受領しています。

FEMAの公共支援プログラムは、州、地方、部族、領土政府および特定の民間非営利団体が、大規模な災害や緊急事態に対応し復旧支援をする事を援助する目的で、PAプログラムのもと、1億5,900万ドル以上を修復のために利用することを義務付けています。当該資金は、瓦礫撤去、人命救助の緊急保護対策および公共設備修復のための費用に利用されます。

政府諸機関間における復旧のための調整

オレゴン州の災害復旧計画では、支援分野を調整する目的で、７つの復旧支援機能（RSF）が設立されており、それぞれ、指定の州立機関が先頭に立ち、州および連邦政府の複数のパートナーから援助を受けています。 オレゴン州の緊急事態管理局が、地元の山火事復旧を支援する州と連邦政府による統合戦略的復旧チームを率いています。

復旧のために、24を超える州立機関および10の連邦政府のパートナーが、地域の管轄区域の復旧能力を支援する取り組みを統合し、州、連邦政府、およびドナーから資源を活用しながら地域社会の再建計画および災害復旧プロジェクトに資金を供給する計画を立てています。地域社会計画および能力形成のスタッフが、焦点を当てた支援提供をするため、郡および地域社会と統合しています。

慈善・非営利団体も、地域社会の再建プロセスに貢献する不可欠な存在であり、リソースおよび技術的援助提供を通じて地元の復旧プログラムおよび能力構築を支援します。復旧プロジェクトの最重要項目と資金調達のチャンスを特定し、10を超える財団との連結が構築され、資金提供先と財源を必要とする人々とを結び付けています。
