FEMA Direct Lease Program Seeks Property Management Resources in Lane County

SALEM, Ore. – In response to the devastation caused by Sept. 2020 Oregon wildfires and straight-line winds, FEMA is currently seeking interested, qualified property management companies to participate in the Direct Lease Program to help provide temporary housing to wildfire survivors in Lane County.

Under the Direct Lease Program, FEMA may contract with property owners to lease existing residential properties, not typically available to the general public (i.e., corporate apartments, second homes, etc.) for use as temporary housing to FEMA applicants. The deadline for property owners to respond to this request is Noon PST, Feb. 12, 2021. 

FEMA is principally seeking potential management companies who do the bulk of their business in Lane County, but all interested property owners are encouraged to participate. Under Direct Lease, FEMA is seeking property portfolios not typically available to the general public with properties readily available to lease to FEMA. Properties must adhere to all local, state, and federal codes/standards. Examples of eligible properties include, but are not limited to; corporate apartments, vacation rentals, and second homes (single family homes, multi-family homes, apartments, condominiums, town houses, and readily fabricated dwellings). The properties in Direct Lease are to be offered as temporary housing for FEMA applicants for a term of no less than 18 months, with the option of lease extension.

If you are a property owner and are interested in this program, please provide the following information:

• Property name, location, property owner name, and phone number;
• Number of units (a separate bathroom, kitchen, and living space) available for FEMA's exclusive use and the number of bedrooms each unit contains;
• Number of units compliant with Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards and/or features in unit(s) that provide accessibility for individuals with disabilities;
• Confirmation that the property owner is current and up to date with the property’s mortgage payments;
• Confirmation that property is readily available for applicants to move in;
• History of the building’s use (dates used as a rental, etc.), if applicable;
• Any applicable pet restrictions, such as what pets are allowed in the units and any restrictions on number of pets or size of pets, and any applicable pet deposits;
• Number of parking spaces (including accessible and van-accessible) available for each unit, if applicable;
• Rental range for property, including any associated fees;
• Utilities included in rent; and
• Number of any units fully furnished.

This request for information is not a request for quotes. Responses to this notification will be used to determine which properties meet direct lease criteria and provide the timeliest, most cost-effective means of providing direct assistance to eligible disaster survivors. FEMA wants to obtain market information or capabilities for planning purposes.

Responses to this notice for information are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract.  All responses must be in submitted in writing via email to                      DR-4562-OR-MLRP@fema.dhs.gov and received no later than Noon PST, Feb. 12, 2021.

FEMA Approves Over $213 Million for Massachusetts COVID-19 Vaccine Costs

REGION I –Massachusetts will receive $ 213,284,522.50 from FEMA to support the Commonwealth with emergency protective measures to store, handle, transport, distribute, and administer the COVID-19 vaccine in accordance with their Vaccination Plan. These funds were expeditiously awarded to support the Executive Office of Health and Human Services in order to address this immediate threat to life and public safety.

As of January 28, 2021, the Commonwealth has administered approximately 496,000 doses of vaccine at an average rate of approximately 12,000 doses per day. As of this same date, there are 116 vaccination facilities across the Commonwealth. Massachusetts has developed a timeline that prioritizes administering the vaccine to certain groups across the Commonwealth (information here). This timeline reflects several priorities including protecting the most vulnerable, maintaining health care system capacity, and addressing inequities in health care access and COVID-19 burden. In order to achieve the Commonwealth’s strategy of maximizing the number of doses administered, the number of facilities will be expanded to meet demand.

“Through FEMA’s partnership, this critical funding will assist the Commonwealth in ensuring they have the necessary funds to carry out their vaccination plan.” said Acting Regional Administrator and Federal Coordinating Officer Paul Ford, who oversees FEMA’s operations in Massachusetts. 

Eligible costs include, but are not limited to: Personal Protection Equipment (PPE); storage equipment, including coolers, freezers, temperature monitoring devices, and portable vaccine storage units for transportation;  supplies such as emergency medical supplies (for emergency medical care needs that may arise in the administration of the vaccine), sharps containers (for medical waste), and proper storage as needed for canisters of liquid nitrogen or dry ice.

This grant is funded through FEMA’s Public Assistance (PA) Grant program which reimburses communities for actions taken in the immediate response and during recovery from a disaster. Eligible applicants include states, federally recognized tribal governments, U.S. territories, local governments, and certain private non-profit organizations. Grant applications are submitted from the state, which coordinates the process with local governments. 

FEMA obligates funding for this project directly to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

FEMA Provides $15 Million to the Minnesota Department of Health

CHICAGO – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the  Minnesota Department of Public Safety Homeland Security and Emergency Management division (DPS-HSEM) announced today that $15 million in federal funding has been made available to the Minnesota Department of Health for costs related to the state’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan under the federal disaster declaration of April 7, 2020.

This funding is an advance payment to the Minnesota Department of Health for eligible reimbursable costs to distribute and administer available COVID-19 vaccines through the establishment of 10 vaccination centers across the state. The grant also includes equipment, medical supplies and staffing costs related to the set-up of these centers.

“FEMA is committed to expanding COVID-19 vaccination efforts across the country,” said Kevin M. Sligh, acting regional administrator, FEMA Region 5. “This expedited grant funding will increase access to COVID-19 vaccines for Minnesotans, protecting residents across the state while helping reduce the spread of this virus.”

“Everyone involved in the vaccination effort in Minnesota really appreciates how quickly FEMA processed our request for advanced funding,” said DPS-HSEM Director Joe Kelly. “These funds will help us administer the available shots to people as fast as possible.”

FEMA provides a 100 percent federal share of eligible reimbursable expenses for this project.

FEMA’s Public Assistance Program provides funding to local government jurisdictions and eligible private non-profits for the repair, replacement, or restoration of disaster-damaged infrastructure as well as costs incurred for debris removal, disaster cleanup and emergency actions taken to protect lives or property.  To learn more, visit FEMA’s website at www.fema.gov/public-assistance-local-state-tribal-and-non-profit.

FEMA Statement on 100% Cost Share

FEMA is committed to supporting our state, local, tribal and territorial partners in responding to COVID-19 pandemic.

The additional direction received yesterday from the President will allow FEMA to increase this support to our state, local, tribal, and territorial partners through additional federal funding. Specifically, the President’s directive allows FEMA to pay 100% federal funding for the costs of activities that have previously been determined eligible, from the beginning of the pandemic in January 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021. 

This means that all work eligible under FEMA’s existing COVID-19 policies, including increasing medical capacity, non-congregate sheltering, and emergency feeding distribution will be reimbursed at 100% federal share. For projects that have already been approved, FEMA will amend the existing awards to adjust the federal funding amounts. No action will be required by the applicants.

In addition, the President’s directive allows FEMA to expand the activities eligible for reimbursement for work conducted after Jan. 21, 2021 and until Sept. 30, 2021. Specifically, the costs to support the safe opening and operation of eligible schools, child-care facilities, healthcare facilities, non-congregate shelters, domestic violence shelters, transit systems, and other eligible applicants will be eligible after Jan. 21.  

This may include funding for the provision of personal protective equipment, disinfecting services and supplies. These costs will also be reimbursed at 100% federal share. In the coming days, FEMA will issue an amended COVID-19 policy to implement this directive.

Prepare Now for Severe Winter Weather to End the Week

CHICAGO – With forecasts of snow, high winds and icy conditions Thursday, followed by dangerously low temperatures through the weekend, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) wants individuals and families to take precautions to protect against the hazards severe winter weather may bring.

“Icy roads and blowing snow can make travel extremely hazardous,” said Kevin M. Sligh, acting regional administrator, FEMA Region 5. “Stay inside your home as much as possible; if you must drive, bring an emergency kit that includes an ice scraper, blanket and flashlight, and keep the fuel tank above half full.”

Protect yourself and your family by taking the necessary precautions:

• Before the temperatures drop, gather supplies in case you need to stay home for several days. Keep in mind each person’s and pet’s specific needs, including medication;
• Dress in layers and keep dry;
• Check on neighbors, family and friends while following the latest guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on maintaining social and physical distancing;
• Know the symptoms of cold-related health issues such as frostbite and hypothermia and seek medical attention if health conditions are severe. Learn more at the CDC’s webpage Prevent Frostbite & Hypothermia;
• Plug only one heat-producing appliance (such as a space heater) into an electrical outlet at a time and turn space heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed. Never use an oven to heat your home;
• Bring your pets indoors or ensure they have a warm shelter area with unfrozen water; and
• Prepare for power outages. Make sure to fully charge all electronics before severe weather begins to impact your area. Use generators outside only and away from windows.

ATLANTA – The Federal Emergency Management Agency has obligated $4.1 million to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control for COVID-19 vaccine mission costs.

The award provides expedited federal funding to reimburse 100% of costs related to the department’s vaccination program for a 90-day period. These funds may provide:

• Equipment and supplies needed for storing, handling, and distributing vaccines;
• Personal protective equipment (PPE) for staff and patients;
• Leasing facilities for storing and administering vaccines;
• Additional medical and support staff, including facility infection control measures;
• Emergency medical care;
• Equipment for the safe disposal of medical waste;
• Communications to disseminate public information.

This $4.1 million adds to the $2.6 million FEMA has already committed for South Carolina’s vaccination program. FEMA has now obligated a total of $6.7 million for the state’s vaccination efforts.

Grants for emergency protective measures are funded through FEMA’s Public Assistance program, which reimburses communities for actions taken for response and recovery from a disaster. For COVID-19, FEMA has streamlined the Public Assistance application and reimbursement process to get funds to applicants faster. Expedited reimbursements help local, state, and tribal officials address immediate threats to life, public health, and safety.

FEMA Supports Vaccine Distribution: COVID-19 Response Update

WASHINGTON -- On Feb. 2, President Joseph R. Biden directed FEMA to retroactively reimburse states for 100% of their costs for eligible emergency protective measures, including masks, gloves, emergency feeding actions, sheltering at-risk populations and mobilization of the National Guard, if not funded by HHS/CDC or other federal agency.

To date, FEMA has provided more than $1.76 billion to states, territories and tribes and Washington, D.C., for expenses related to COVID-19 vaccination at 100% federal cost share and deployed 401 staff to 12 states and one territory to support vaccination centers with personnel and technical assistance. Additional staff are supporting virtually. As the number of states with obligations increases, we will work alongside other federal agencies to provide federal support for critical staffing, supplies and other shortfalls that can help get more Americans vaccinated.

As of Feb. 2, 114 federally supported sites are operational across the country.

Additionally, FEMA established a Civil Rights Advisory Group. Civil rights advisors are deployed to all regions assisting with equity in vaccine operations, including community engagement, community assessments, equal access/accessibility and site inspections.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services deployed 96 National Disaster Medical System medical vaccinators for community vaccination centers in Arizona. The U. S. Coast Guard deployed 18 reservists to support Oklahoma.

Federal Coordination to Identify and Fill Resource Gaps

FEMA is working closely with state, local, tribal and territorial governments to fill gaps that local health officials have identified. Additionally, emergency managers are working closely with appropriate health officials.

FEMA released “FEMA COVID-19 Vaccination Planning FAQ,” a document to help assist governments with their vaccine distribution efforts and reimbursements for associated costs. FEMA will work with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and other federal agencies to ensure a coordinated approach to using Defense Production Act authorities wherever necessary so private sector companies can increase vaccine supply and spur vaccine manufacturing.

Vaccine Guidance

FEMA is working with the Ad Council to encourage hesitant or underrepresented Americans to get vaccinated. This research-driven public education campaign provides federal, non-profit, and medical stakeholders with insights and communications strategies to tailor communications to reach diverse audiences. The vaccine is not a perfect fix. Everyone should continue to practice other precautions like wearing a mask, maintaining physical distance, handwashing and other hygiene measures until public health officials say otherwise.

FEMA is committed to ensuring every American who wants a vaccine can get one.

FEMA Awards Monroe County $2.49 Million for Hurricane Irma Expenses

ORLANDO, Fla. – FEMA has approved a grant of $2,497,720 for the State of Florida to help Monroe County defray the cost of emergency response after Hurricane Irma in 2017.

FEMA Public Assistance program funds will reimburse the county for emergency measures taken to protect life and property, including lodging, meals, generators, emergency healthcare and other expenses after the storm in the Florida Keys, the Everglades and Big Cypress National Preserve.

The program provides grants to state, tribal, and local governments, and certain types of private nonprofit organizations, including some houses of worship, so that communities can quickly respond to and recover from major disasters or emergencies. The Florida Division of Emergency Management works with FEMA during all phases of the program and conducts final reviews of FEMA-approved projects.

The federal share for Public Assistance projects is not less than 75 percent of the eligible cost. The state determines how the nonfederal share of the cost of a project (up to 25 percent) is split with the subrecipients like local and county governments.

FEMA Approves More than Half a Million Dollars to Entities that Protect Women

GUAYNABO, Puerto Rico – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has approved nearly $550,000 for nonprofits that offer services for women who are victims of domestic violence. These allocations include $400,000 for three permanent repair projects and other allocations for emergency work following Hurricane María.

According to the Puerto Rico Police Bureau Statistics Office, 6,170 incidents of domestic violence were reported on the island in 2020.

“Recovery encompasses a myriad of sectors that positively affect the safety and well-being of our communities. Certainly, these allocations help these entities to continue their work for the benefit of our country”, said Federal Disaster Recovery Coordinator for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands José Baquero Tirado.

Among the entities to which funds were allocated is Hogar Ruth para Mujeres Maltratadas (Ruth Center for Battered Women) which since its establishment in 1984 has served nearly 6,500 participants annually. The center provides emergency shelter, transitional housing for women and their children, guidance and counseling, legal services, and other support and educational resources. As a result of the $300,000 obligation, it was able to repair the roofs of its buildings and the cistern, as well as the fence that provides protection from intruders and unwanted persons, among other repairs.

Hogar Ruth's Executive Director, Lisdel Flores Barger, emphasized that aid is extremely important in these cases because it is about the participants’ safety — the most important element promised to the victims. At the time of the disaster they were sheltering 42 people.

“If we had not been able to achieve the improvements to keep the entity functioning, perhaps dozens of women would have been killed because they would not have been able to access an emergency shelter. We are talking about lives, there is no greater impact than that. FEMA provided access to those funds we needed,” said Flores Barger.

Similarly, Casa Protegida Julia de Burgos (Julia de Burgos Shelter), will receive approximately $27,000 to repair its solar water heating system, light fixtures for the parking lot, and purchase office furniture, among other improvements. “Casa Julia”, as it is known, was founded in 1979 and provides shelter, transitional housing, children's programs, counseling services and outpatient programs, among others.

On the other hand, Women’s Advocate Lersy Boria Vizcarrondo said that her Office is working tirelessly to provide the available resources. In the specific cases of Hogar Ruth and Casa Julia, these organizations are subsidized by the Women’s Advocate Office and they support all efforts made for their benefit.

“We are grateful for this allocation of funds for these organizations that undoubtedly do a commendable job, in addition to meeting the physical and emotional needs of the victims who need it so much in their process,” said Boria Vizcarrondo.

For his part, Manuel A. Laboy Rivera, Executive Director of the Central Office for Recovery, Reconstruction and Resilience, said that the projects to be developed will enable the care and services required by the victims to be offered within facilities in optimal conditions. “We appreciate the commitment of employees at these institutions, as they positively transform the lives of those seek protection, shelter and counseling. We are confident that the construction of these administrative and recreational facilities will provide safe spaces for the social and emotional development of victims who wish to rebuild their lives outside of the cycle of abuse,” he added.

Likewise, Hogar Nueva Mujer - Santa María de la Merced and Hogar La Piedad which is part of the Community Development Foundation of Puerto Rico (FUNDESCO, for its Spanish acronym) are part of the organizations that were approved funds to repair their facilities. Also noteworthy is the allocation of over $90,000 to the municipality of Yabucoa for its Office of Women's Affairs whose responsibility is to ensure the development and implementation of legal, social and economic equality for women and the strengthening of the family as a core institution on the Island.

FEMA’s Direct Housing Mission Helps with Temporary Housing; One Survivor’s Story

BATON ROUGE, La. – The destruction after hurricanes Laura and Delta left thousands of Louisiana residents without a safe and secure place to stay. FEMA’s Direct Housing Mission has been working to get those survivors with housing needs into temporary housing, whether through financial rental assistance or through FEMA-provided temporary-housing units. Survivor Janet Fontenot shares her story of once living in complete dread to safely sleeping in her own bed as a result of FEMA’s efforts. 

Fontenot moved into her rental home in Sulphur one month before Hurricane Laura devastated southwest Louisiana. Fontenot said she and her family of three were homeless until FEMA provided them with temporary housing.

“This year has been ... it was tragic,” she said. “When we came home to check our houses mine was gone. We lost everything.

“I did apply with FEMA, but I hadn’t applied for housing. But FEMA kept reaching out to me to see if I had gotten housing, and I hadn’t gotten anything yet, because  there is nothing here to rent and all of a sudden they called with some keys to this travel trailer, and I mean I was so excited.”

FEMA works with each applicant every step of the way during the direct-housing process to place families into units suitable for their unique needs. That may be a non-motorized RV for those who have repairs that can be made in a relatively short amount of time. Others may need a manufactured housing unit (MHU) since repairs to their homes may need more time to complete.

There are numerous critical steps that must occur before applicants can be placed in a housing unit. The type and size of the unit ordered is determined by the family composition and possible access or functional needs.

It is a top priority of FEMA to keep families in their communities whenever feasible so they can remain close to their homes, jobs, schools and places of worship.

To assist in determining the temporary-housing needs for renters, FEMA is making calls to landlords to determine the condition and repair plans for damaged leased homes.

FEMA wants to remind eligible survivors who received a direct-housing referral to stay in contact with FEMA. To keep your case moving forward you must keep FEMA informed and updated on any changes.

The housing process takes time; FEMA’s priority is to continue to assist families with their housing needs and to ensure those in units are working towards a more permanent housing plan. FEMA is working hard for everyone to have a place to call home.

“It’s beautiful in here,” Fontenot said. “My son has his own bedroom, and we have our own bedroom. They're so convenient. I mean this year was horrible but ended up wonderful. I thank ya’ll so much. I’ve got a place to call home.”

Public Invited to Appeal or Comment on Flood Maps in Nueces County, Texas

DENTON, Texas – Revised preliminary flood risk information and updated Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) are available for review by residents and business owners in Nueces County, Texas. Property owners are encouraged to review the latest information to learn about local flood risks and potential future flood insurance requirements. Community stakeholders can identify any concerns or questions about the information provided and participate in the 90-day appeal and comment period.

The updated maps were produced in coordination with local, state and FEMA officials. Significant community review of the maps has already taken place, but before the maps become final, community stakeholders can identify any concerns or questions about the information provided and submit appeals or comments. 

The 90-day appeal period will begin Feb. 3, 2021. Residents and business owners are also encouraged to review the updated maps to learn about local flood risks and potential future flood insurance requirements. 

Appeals/Comments may be submitted through May 4, 2021, for:

• Cities of Bishop, Corpus Christi, Robstown; and the unincorporated areas of Nueces County

Residents may submit an appeal if they consider modeling or data used to create the map is technically or scientifically incorrect.

• An appeal must include technical information, such as hydraulic or hydrologic data, to support the claim.
• Appeals cannot be based on the effects of proposed projects or projects started after the study is in progress.
• If property owners see incorrect information that does not change the flood hazard information—such as a missing or misspelled road name in the Special Flood Hazard Area or an incorrect corporate boundary—they can submit a written comment.

The next step in the mapping process is to resolve all comments and appeals. Once these are resolved, FEMA will notify communities of the effective date of the final maps.

To review the preliminary maps or submit appeals and comments, visit your local floodplain administrator (FPA). A FEMA Map Specialist can identify your community FPA. Specialists are available by telephone at 1-877-FEMA-MAP (1-877-336-2627) or by email at FEMAMapSpecialist@riskmapcds.com.

The preliminary maps may also be viewed online:

Iberia Parish Disaster Recovery Center Closing

BATON ROUGE, La. – The Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) in Iberia Parish will shift to a virtual operation. The facility will close at 5 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 4. In its place FEMA will implement a virtual DRC for outreach to individuals registered for Individual and Households Program assistance. 

FEMA has previously implemented virtual DRCs in newly designated parishes under Hurricane Zeta, and in Allen Parish under Hurricane Delta. Through virtual outreach, FEMA will provide a type of concierge service. 

The same individuals who were working at the Iberia Parish DRC will provide survivors with their FEMA cellphone numbers so survivors can inquire about their status. FEMA staff will also be reaching out to registered individuals to assess their progress, offer advice, provide information and a status update on the progress of their case.

FEMA’s National Processing Service Center (NPSC) is also involved in coordinating contact and assistance between FEMA DRC staff, survivors, and the Joint Field Office in Baton Rouge.

In many ways this level of service will be superior to the services FEMA offered at the drive-thru DRC because of the COVID-19 restrictions. FEMA remains committed to supporting survivors and providing all available assistance despite the current COVID-19 environment.

 

The center in Iberia Parish is at:

Iberia Parish Airfield

Old Runway

Site No. 1

4917 Industrial Dr.

New Iberia, LA 70560

 

To ask questions or submit information: Call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 or TTY 800-462-7585, visit www.DisasterAssistance.gov or download the FEMA Mobile App at fema.gov/about/news-multimedia/app.
