ICYMI -- Department of Homeland Security Secretary, FEMA Administrator and U.S. Fire Administrator Address the World Fire Congress
WASHINGTON -- Last week, FEMA and the U.S Fire Administration hosted delegates from more than 50 nations at the inaugural World Fire Congress in Washington, D.C. In accordance with the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to reduce fire risk, address growing problem of wildfires, firefighter health and safety, the world’s premier firefighting organizations and government officials came together to share best practices and work to enhance all nations’ response capabilities. With climate change spurring bigger and stronger wildfires and other disasters across the globe, it is more important than ever to strategize ways to mitigate these threats.
“What you did here these past few days and the many advances to the work of firefighting and fire prevention that will grow from it in the years ahead, will save lives -- of first responders and of all those who depend on them,” Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas said in his address to delegates. “[It] is a recognition of the obligation that we have to the world’s firefighters: to be there for all of them, as they have been there for all of us. We are eager and very proud, to help facilitate collaboration among all of our countries and with our multilateral and non-governmental partners, through this new World Fire Congress.”
“The world has watched as our ecosystem -- our shared home -- has been challenged at every turn,” said FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell as she opened the World Fire Congress. “And the reality is, we’ve never been more closely connected. A disaster in one nation can cause ripple effects across the globe. That’s why this World Fire Congress is so important -- it’s an opportunity to build upon these relationships and continue to share knowledge and best practices with one another.”
U.S. Fire Administrator Dr. Lori Moore-Merrell also addressed the participants. “We know that when emergencies or disasters strike, firefighters respond. Your responders are first on scene in often unexpected circumstances and unfamiliar surroundings. They are exposed to toxic chemicals or conditions that threaten their physical wellbeing and even their lives.” Dr. Moore-Merrell continued, “Although each of our nations have unique risk environments, our main challenges and immediate priorities are very similar.”
This historic event established a global fire service leadership network dedicated to supporting and strengthening fire services around the world and developing solutions to the shared problems we all face. This plan for international collaboration among fire services will be perpetuated through the Statement of Founding Principles and Objectives. The Congress will take place every two years and the next one will be hosted by the United Kingdom Home Office and National Fire Chiefs Council in 2026.
amy.ashbridge Mon, 05/13/2024 - 19:21FEMA Deadline Approaching: Don’t Delay, Apply Today
WARWICK, RI. – Homeowners and renters in Kent, Providence and Washington counties who had damage from the severe storm and flooding that took place from Dec. 17-19, 2023 and Jan. 9-13, 2024 have just one week left to apply for disaster assistance.
The deadline to apply for disaster assistance from FEMA is May 20.
There are several ways to register:
- Call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. Help is available in most languages and operates daily from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. ET. If you use video relay service (VRS), captioned telephone service or another relay service, give FEMA your number for that service when you call. For an accessible video on how to apply for assistance go to, youtube.com/watch?v= WZGpWI2RCNw.
- Go online to DisasterAssistance.gov.
- Download the FEMA mobile app available on Google Play or the Apple App Store.
Assistance from FEMA may include funds for temporary housing while you are unable to live in your home, such as rental assistance or reimbursement for hotel costs. Grants are also available for repair or replacement of damage for owner-occupied homes that serve as the household’s primary residence.
Funding may also be available for repair to privately owned access routes, such as driveways, roads, or bridges, that sustained damage which prevents safe entry to a primary home. Other FEMA grants include expenses for the repair or replacement of personal property and vehicles and other serious needs, including for moving and storage, medical, dental, childcare and other miscellaneous disaster-related expenses.
Applicants for disaster assistance should have the following information prior to registration: Social Security number; address of the damaged primary residence; insurance coverage information; current telephone number and mailing address; and bank account and routing numbers for direct deposit of funds.
Survivors should keep their contact information updated with FEMA because an agency representative may need to reach you to perform a home inspection or get additional information. For faster reimbursement, FEMA encourages survivors to request direct deposits of disaster assistance to their financial institution. Survivors should let FEMA know as soon as possible of any changes to their mailing or banking information.
Disaster assistance is not a substitute for insurance and cannot compensate for all losses caused by a disaster. The assistance is intended to meet basic needs and supplement disaster recovery efforts.

barbara.murien… Mon, 05/13/2024 - 14:32FEMA Promotes the Recovery of Municipalities Through Mapping Tools
Guaynabo, PUERTO RICO - As part of Puerto Rico’s resilient recovery from future disasters, strategic planning and reconstruction projects become more important, especially for municipalities with limited resources and social-based nonprofit organizations.
To help expand the technical knowledge of municipalities and these organizations, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) held participatory mapping exercises in municipalities around the island to help them identify solutions in their disaster recovery efforts.
Many municipalities lack geographic information systems or need high-resolution printed maps to conduct their planning efforts more effectively. Participatory mapping exercises allow municipal staff to better observe the potential hazards and vulnerabilities that exist around their municipalities and visualize their recovery plans.
“Part of FEMA’s role is to support municipalities and social-based organizations to strengthen their development and capacity. The mapping exercises are a tool to help them be better prepared and more resilient,” said Federal Disaster Recovery Coordinator José G. Baquero.
In the municipality of Ciales, the municipal mapping exercise was essential to identify opportunities to help improve urban and community planning in city revitalization and municipal recovery projects, said planner Aner Cosme Maldonado.
The mapping initiative helped reveal that all Ciales communities experienced vulnerability, particularly the Posas, Cialitos, Toro Negro, Pesas and Frontón neighborhoods. Cosme Maldonado explained that solutions vary according to the needs of each community, which has led to the development of reconstruction projects for critical infrastructure, communal areas and basic water services in all affected zones.
“This has allowed us to make informed decisions on how to improve the quality of life of the people of Ciales, promoting sustainable growth and resilience to disasters, and fostering economic development in the municipality. We have been able to visualize alongside the mayor the needs and potential solutions of each community, facilitating collaboration between different actors and the effective implementation of revitalization projects,” said Cosme Maldonado.
During the mapping exercise, two maps of the municipality or community are used. The maps by neighborhoods and municipal sectors offer a spatial view of the territory, which allows officials to have a holistic vision of their municipality. Then, in a second map, the image is expanded to the urban center, allowing the identification of revitalization projects with economic and social development potential.
As a result of the needs identified by municipalities and organizations, FEMA develops follow-up activities, where municipal officials and experts address problems such as storm runoff management; coastal erosion, riverine flooding, erosion and scour in rivers and streams; and the processes that must be carried out to identify, designate and dispose of structures and lots of land that can be declared public nuisances.
FEMA’s Community Assistance unit has visited over 50 municipalities since 2018 to offer participatory mapping exercises to municipal officials and members of nonprofit organizations. The team bets on the recovery of municipalities and organizations with a visual methodology that has facilitated the understanding, analysis and dissemination of data for the benefit of the regional planning process in the country.
During a participatory mapping exercise, the municipalities of Quebradillas and Lares expressed their need for help in addressing the challenge of the proliferation of disused structures in the urban area. The FEMA group coordinated a meeting between the municipality and the nonprofit organization Centro para la Reconstrucción del Hábitat, in which the municipality’s concerns were discussed and possible solutions were provided.
In Barceloneta, the Community Assistance unit helped the municipality develop a virtual tool to promote local tourism. Using platforms such as Google Earth Pro and Google Maps, the Community Assistance group worked with the municipality’s Public Documents Office and the Ignacio Cruz Báez Cultural Center to digitize areas of tourist interest, information that was then shared on the municipality’s website.
It is estimated that the Regional Approach for Recovery workshop will be held in October, an event that gathers the predominant needs and hazardous situations in the areas visited.
During the event, specific and sustainable recovery alternatives will be offered to the participating municipalities. In the last workshop, issues such as landslides, coastal erosion and mitigation plans were addressed.
For his part, the executive director of the Central Office for Recovery, Reconstruction and Resiliency (COR3), Manuel A. Laboy Rivera, said that, “one of the main objectives of reconstruction is to provide resilience to the infrastructure. The implementation of mapping technology will be key to improving the planning process necessary for the responsible development of works that adapt to community needs and are considered future risks to avoid damage that compromises the stability of critical infrastructure.”

Remember: Only damage and needs related to the March 14 tornadoes are eligible.
After You Apply: Navigating the Process
Keep in mind a few tips:
- If you haven’t yet, file that insurance claim. Applicants who are insured for the disaster damage to their home must provide an insurance settlement or benefit documents to FEMA before being considered for federal assistance.
- FEMA may need to perform an inspection of your damaged home. Be sure to answer your phone to get that inspection scheduled. You can learn more about the inspection process on FEMA’s What to Expect: Housing Inspections fact sheet.
- Read any FEMA letter you receive carefully. These letters will explain additional information FEMA may need from you and any assistance you may be eligible for and how it should be used. To receive updates and notifications faster, create an online DisasterAssistance.gov account after applying for FEMA assistance.

nicole.timonshipman Fri, 05/10/2024 - 20:39ICYMI -- FEMA Participates in Annual Atlantic Hurricane Awareness Tour, Joins Officials Across the Biden-Harris Administration to Urge Preparedness Ahead of Hurricane Season
WASHINGTON -- This week, FEMA leaders participated in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) annual Hurricane Awareness Tour in Maine, New York, Delaware, Virginia, South Carolina and Florida. Representatives from all levels of government joined community partners to showcase the coordinated approach to hurricane readiness and response, while urging the public to prepare now.
“Collaboration and proactive measures at all levels are paramount to safeguarding our communities and minimizing the impact of hurricanes,” said FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell. “We value our partnerships with NOAA and at-risk communities as we spread awareness about the potential impacts from hurricanes and how communities can prepare. Together, we stand ready to mitigate risks, protect lives and build stronger, more resilient communities.”
As part of the tour stop in Albany, FEMA Associate Administrator for the Office of Response and Recovery Anne Bink spoke on the importance of preparedness ahead of hurricane season.
“With just under a month before the official start of hurricane season, the time to prepare is now,” said FEMA Associate Administrator Anne Bink. “No one is immune from disasters. We’ve seen the reaching impacts of hurricanes throughout coastal communities and inland areas. Readiness starts at home, so I encourage everyone to be in the know, understand your unique risks, make a plan and help friends and neighbors do the same.”
At each stop, the public met FEMA and NOAA hurricane experts, scientists and crew members. Attendees had the unique opportunity to tour aircrafts that help forecasters keep us safe -- NOAA’s WP-3D and the U.S. Air Force Reserve WC-130J “Hurricane Hunter.”

ICYMI -- Biden-Harris Administration Continues to Focus on Addressing Extreme Heat and Reducing the Impacts to Wildfire Smoke, as the Nation Heads into Summer Months
WASHINGTON -- Last month, FEMA launched its annual #SummerReady Campaign with a series of virtual and in-person events on extreme heat and wildfires focused on understanding extreme heat, wildfire smoke impacts and defining actionable ways to combat and prepare for these increasing risks across the country.
“Ninety degrees is not a day at the beach -- it is a breaking point, one that nearly every community can expect to reach in the weeks, months and years ahead,” Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas said in his remarks at the summit. “The DHS workforce and our partners across the Administration, will continue to be there in your community’s moments of need. But mitigating the impacts of such extreme heat requires all of us, across every level of government and throughout the private sector, to work together closely and to strategically invest now in preparedness and resilience.”
“Extreme heat is a silent killer. It is the leading weather-related cause of death in the United States. It took the lives of more than 1,700 people last year alone -- a number that has nearly doubled since 2018. Young children, older adults, people with chronic illnesses, our low income or unhoused neighbors and outdoor workers are among the most at risk,” said Administrator Deanne Criswell. “As we head into the summer months, it is critical that individuals and communities prepare for extreme heat. Our recent summit and ongoing national heat events focusing can help individuals and communities build local capacity to withstand tomorrow’s hazards.”
The #SummerReady Extreme Heat Summit on April 26 brought together federal agencies and organizations to address the effects to extreme heat on individuals, communities and infrastructures and convene with organizations focused on climate resilience. The event featured Biden-Harris Administration officials including welcoming remarks from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell. FEMA Senior Official Performing the Duties of Deputy Administrator for Resilience Victoria Salinas moderated the roundtable panel discussions examining federal, state and local initiatives to combat extreme heat risks. A second panel included emergency managers, resilience officers and other leaders on the front lines of extreme heat.
To address the Biden-Harris Administration’s focus on community resilience, on April 29, the Biden-Harris Administration through FEMA hosted the first-ever Improving Individual and Community Wildfire Resilience Summit. This second event as part of the series was led by a national partnership of agencies working to address the risk, prevention and effects of wildfire smoke. This event brought together leading subject matter experts and resources from across the country to share challenges, risks, rewards and real-life actionable steps to prevent and reduce the effects of wildfires when they happen.
On May 21, FEMA’s Extreme Heat series will conclude with a hybrid in-person-virtual summit hosted by FEMA Region 5 in Chicago. Building on the lessons learned from the 2023 Extreme Heat Summit, this two-day engagement will offer opportunities for discussion, networking and cross-collaboration between all levels of government and community partners. To register for this event, go to #SummerReady FEMA Extreme Heat Summit, Chicago.
Other resources mentioned during the events included FEMA’s recently released “Climate Adaptation Planning: Guidance for Emergency Managers” which helps emergency managers incorporate climate adaptation into emergency management planning. FEMA also released the new draft National Resilience Guidance for a 30-day public comment period. This new guidance highlights the interdependence required to build resilience including climate, ecosystem, social, economic, infrastructure and disaster resilience.
To better prepare for extreme event and wildfire events, individuals and communities can share social media content from FEMA’s Social Media Preparedness Toolkits. For a list of the resources shared during #SummerReady Extreme Heat Summit, visit Extreme Heat. and for a list of resources from the Improving Individual and Community Wildfire Resilience Summit visit Wildfires. To register for the May 21-22, 2024, event go to #SummerReady FEMA Extreme Heat Summit, Chicago.

larissa.hale Thu, 05/09/2024 - 18:50Public Invited to Review Flood Maps in Morris County, New Jersey
Morris County, N.J. - FEMA is proposing updates to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for Morris County, New Jersey. Community partners are invited to participate in a 90-day appeal and comment period.
The updated maps were produced as a result of the Scientific Review Panel (SRP) and 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 partners can identify any corrections or questions about the information provided and submit appeals or comments. The communities receiving updated FIRM map panels as a result of this SRP include Borough of Butler, Township of East Hanover, Borough of Kinnelon, Borough of Lincoln Park, Township of Montville, Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills, Township of Pequannock and Borough of Riverdale.
The 90-day appeal period will begin on or around May 10, 2024. Residents, business owners and other community partners are encouraged to review the updated maps to learn about local flood risks and potential future flood insurance requirements. They may submit an appeal if they perceive that 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 the resolution of all comments and appeals. Once they are resolved, FEMA will notify communities of the effective date of the final maps.
Submit appeals and comments by contacting your local floodplain administrator. The preliminary maps may be viewed online at the FEMA Flood Map Changes Viewer: http://msc.fema.gov/fmcv.
For more information about the flood maps:
- Use a live chat service about flood maps at http://go.usa.gov/r6C (just click on the “Live Chat” icon).
- Contact a FEMA Map Specialist by telephone; toll free, at 1-877-FEMA-MAP (1-877-336-2627) or by email at FEMA-FMIX@fema.dhs.gov.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies do not cover flooding. There are cost-saving options available for those newly mapped into a high-risk flood zone. Learn more about your flood insurance options by talking with your insurance agent and visiting https://www.floodsmart.gov.
- Morris County Flood Mapping Milestones
- 2021-2023 — Regular coordination meetings with local officials on mapping progress.
- 9/28/2023 — Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map released.
- 12/8/2023 — Community Coordination and Outreach Meeting to review Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map and discuss updates to local floodplain management ordinance and flood insurance.
- On or Around 5/10/2024 — Appeal Period starts.
- Summer 2025* — New Flood Insurance Rate Map becomes effective and flood insurance requirements take effect. (*Timeline subject to change pending completion of the appeal review process.)

alexa.brown Thu, 05/09/2024 - 13:54FEMA hosts 2024 Caribbean Readiness Initiative in Puerto Rico
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Leading Puerto Rico and FEMA officials met in Puerto Rico from April 29 to May 10 to participate of the 2024 Caribbean Readiness Initiative and strengthen preparedness capabilities to ensure that the Island’s emergency response structure is ready to support any type of emergency incident, as the upcoming Hurricane Season approaches.
“At the beginning of hurricane seasons, we are always asked if the government is prepared. This type of initiative is part of that government preparedness, both at the municipal, state, and federal level, to be able to manage any emergency that may occur, during hurricane season or at any time. That is why the emphasis is that the community must be prepared. The government will respond, but it is important that everyone is prepared at the individual, family, and community level. We continue to work hand in hand with FEMA to continue helping our island,” said Nino Correa Filomeno, Commissioner of the Puerto Rico Emergency Management Bureau (PREMB).
The Caribbean Area Readiness Initiative is an annual series of workshops, trainings, meetings, and sessions that FEMA coordinates with emergency managers from federal, state, municipal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the private sector to discuss critical topics and build up the knowledge and capabilities needed to improve Puerto Rico readiness and response postures before the start of the Hurricane Season.
“During these two weeks, Puerto Rico and key federal personnel were immersed on discussions about the requirements to restore critical infrastructure such as power, water, and other essential services. We also talked about, debris management, resources available, and how Puerto Rico will determine if federal resources are necessary to support the response and recovery of the Island. We are working with Puerto Rico officials to strengthen their readiness, individuals at home and work should also start preparing for emergencies,” said Orlando Olivera, Coordinator of the FEMA Caribbean Area Office in Puerto Rico. “The current weather situation is a reminder that everyone needs to be prepared for all type of emergencies, even when the start of the Hurricane Season is a few weeks away.”
The 2024 Readiness Initiative includes supporting the PREMB with seminars throughout the island to ensure that municipal officials are up to date on FEMA programs and policies. During these seminars, FEMA subject matters experts (SMEs) in Individual Assistance, Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation and FEMA grants share information and guidance with emergency managers and first responders from the 78 municipalities of the island, regarding Debris Management Plans, Response and Recovery Processes, Grant management, Training and more.
These collaboration and readiness efforts do not end this week. In the upcoming weeks and months, FEMA will support PREMB with their Readiness Summit and later host the 2024 Governor’s Executive Tabletop Exercise, with all secretaries and heads of agencies, to discuss emergency management priorities, and other key topics to bolster readiness and response postures across the whole community.
FEMA encourages anyone who lives in areas that may be affected during an emergency to take time now to prepare at home, school, work, and the places where they spend more time before the upcoming Hurricane Season starts. Visit www.Ready.gov/hurricanes to learn what you can do to get ready, and download the FEMA App, which provides preparedness tips and weather alerts for up to five different locations.
