FEMA Issues $1.2M Installment to California for Earthquake Protection

OAKLAND, Calif. – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has released an additional installment of $1.2 million to the California Earthquake Authority (CEA) for its Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) program. The grant will subsidize a project of the California Residential Mitigation Program, a joint powers authority of the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services and the CEA, for earthquake retrofits on 391 at-risk homes likely to shake from their foundations in the event of an earthquake.

EBB addresses two seismic vulnerabilities found in many older homes that may have short, wood-framed cripple walls under the first floor. The retrofit bolts the house to the foundation, and if short, wood-framed walls are present under the first floor, the retrofit braces those walls with plywood to reinforce and help prevent the house from collapsing or sliding off its foundation during a quake.

EBB is a code-compliant retrofit that lessens the potential for damage and may allow families to remain in their homes after earthquakes. Each EBB recipient receives a grant of up to $3,000 to bring their home up to seismic code compliance.

FEMA’s $1.2 million release from its Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), in combination with the applicant’s $812,000, marks the latest installment of the $33.3 million project. The remaining $7.1 million will be released incrementally throughout the life of the grant, as applications are approved, to retrofit a total of 6,667 homes.

FEMA’s HMGP helps states, territories, federally-recognized tribes, local communities and certain private, non-profit organizations become more resilient to potential infrastructure damage and reduce future disaster costs. Over the past 31 years, FEMA has invested more than $1.4 billion to reduce disaster risk in California.

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

DENTON, Texas – New preliminary flood risk information and updated Flood Insurance Rate Maps are available for review by residents and business owners in Somervell County, Texas. Officials encourage property owners 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 appeal and comment period for the maps.

New flood hazard information from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been generated in coordination with community, state and agency officials. Significant community review has already taken place.  

Appeals/Comments may be submitted through March 18, 2021:

City of Glen Rose; and the unincorporated areas of Somervell County

Residents 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.

To review the preliminary maps or submit appeals and comments, visit your local floodplain administrator (FPA). A FEMA Map Specialist can help 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:

Contact a FEMA Map Specialist by telephone at 1-877-FEMA-MAP (1-877-336-2627) or by email at FEMAMapSpecialist@riskmapcds.com.

Most homeowners insurance policies do not cover flood damage. 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 or visiting https://www.floodsmart.gov.

Preliminary Flood Maps for Portions of Washington County, Arkansas are Ready for Public Viewing

DENTON, Texas – Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) are available for review by residents and business owners in the cities of Elm Springs, Elkins, Farmington, Fayetteville, Greenland, Johnson, Springdale, West Fork, Tontitown, Winslow, Lincoln, Prairie Grove, Goshen; and unincorporated areas of Washington County, Arkansas. Officials encourage property owners to review the latest information to learn about local flood risks and potential future flood insurance requirements.

For this physical map revision, the FIRMs for Washington County serve multiple purposes, including defining Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) and setting rates for flood insurance. SFHAs are areas at high risk for flooding. Communities and residents can use the information to make informed decisions about building, development and flood insurance.

FEMA stresses that flooding can and does happen outside of the most vulnerable areas. 

“Flooding is not restricted to coastal communities; where it can rain, it can flood,” said FEMA Region 6 Administrator Tony Robinson. “More than 25 percent of flood damage occurs outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, yet most homeowner’s insurance policies do not cover the effects of flooding. Obtaining flood insurance is one of the smartest ways for individuals or businesses to protect themselves.”

To review the preliminary flood maps, visit your local floodplain administrator (FPA). A FEMA Map Specialist can help 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.

FEMA Remains in Louisiana to Help Hurricane Survivors

BATON ROUGE, La. – It will take several years for Louisiana to recover from the 2020 hurricane season, a process that remains in action on many fronts.

FEMA, along with its federal and Louisiana state partners, remains committed to respond to the long-term needs of survivors and help them rebuild stronger, more resilient homes and communities.

By Jan. 6, over $900 million has been put into the hands of Louisiana survivors. FEMA still has almost 900 agency staff members remaining in the state to work on these disasters and is hiring and training local residents to continue the work.

Survivors who received a determination letter saying their application was ineligible may believe that the decision is incorrect or that their situation has changed. Survivors can speak with FEMA specialists to learn about the appeals process, discuss documentation requirements and get assistance with writing an appeal letter. Contact FEMA:

• Online at DisasterAssistance.gov, or
• Call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-FEMA (3362) TTY 800-462-7585.

Specialists from FEMA Individual Assistance continue to work updating and completing applications and appeals from households that were affected by Hurricanes Laura and Delta. You can update your contact information or insurance settlement by using the contact information above.

Direct Temporary Housing assistance is provided only to residents in parishes where housing is not readily available. Direct Temporary Housing assistance is available to Hurricane Laura survivors in Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, Grant, Jefferson Davis, Rapides and Vernon parishes, and for Hurricane Delta residents in Acadia, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, Jefferson Davis, Rapides, St. Landry, St. Martin and Vermilion parishes.

FEMA determines whether applicants are eligible for Direct Temporary Housing and pairs them with the best available housing solution to meet their household needs. No additional registration is required. The deadline for referrals is Jan. 31.

There are many other FEMA programs that are not as visible to individual survivors.

Specialists with FEMA assist communities as Voluntary Agency Liaisons (VALs). They serve as the central coordination point between local, state, tribal, territorial and federal governments and volunteer, faith-based and community organizations – including coordination for volunteers and donations. VALs play a vital role in FEMA’s mission and are often called upon to be FEMA’s bridge to the community.

Through its Public Assistance program, FEMA and Public Assistance experts in Louisiana are working long-term helping organizations to rebuild infrastructure that was damaged in the hurricanes. There are 381 approved Requests for Public Assistance (RPA) for Hurricane Laura and 186 for Hurricane Delta as of Jan. 11. The Request for Public Assistance (RPA) deadline for Hurricane Laura was Dec. 31; the RPA deadline for Hurricane Delta has been extended to Jan. 15.

FEMA specialists are standing by Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. to talk to you about repairing/rebuilding safer and stronger. Please call them at 833-336-2487.

Visit this web page for publications you can use as guides for your recovery: https://fema.connectsolutions.com/lamit/ or https://fema.connectsolutions.com/la-es-mit/ for Spanish.

  • These included the largest wildfire in Colorado’s recorded history, the Cameron Peak fire, and five of the 10 largest fires in California’s history.
• FEMA processed three major declarations due to wildfires.

FEMA rose to meet new challenges during this historic year. The agency’s close collaboration with federal, state, local, tribal and territorial partners made it possible to serve millions of Americans in their time of need through locally executed, state managed and federally supported disaster response. As we begin a new year, each family and individual should take disaster and emergency preparedness seriously.

FEMA Reaches Out to People with Disabilities, Access and Functional Need

FEMA is committed to helping all Louisiana residents who were affected by Hurricanes Laura and Delta. That includes anyone requiring specialized assistance. FEMA’s guidance is intended to ensure that individuals who have access and functional needs receive lawful and equal assistance before, during, and after a disaster or public health emergency.

Simply put, people with access and functional needs includes individuals who need assistance due to any condition (temporary or permanent) that limits their ability to act. To have access and functional needs does not require that the individual have any kind of diagnosis or specific evaluation.

Individuals having access and functional needs may include, but are not limited to, individuals with disabilities, seniors, and populations having limited English proficiency, limited access to transportation, and/or limited access to financial resources to prepare for, respond to, and recover from the emergency.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 32.3% of adults in Louisiana have some type of disability. Across the state and throughout the country, FEMA provides accommodations at each step in the recovery process.

Newspapers, radio, television, social media, flyers, local officials, and private sector partners help to spread important recovery information in multiple languages.

To view a short video explaining the accommodations FEMA can provide, go to: FEMA Accessible: Answering Yes to the Disability Question When Registering for Assistance - YouTube.

If a person did not apply for assistance and can provide a valid reason for the delay, or if they live in Allen or Iberia Parish where registration is still open until Feb. 21, they may be eligible for FEMA assistance. Those who have already put in an application can update their information to request assistance to meet their needs. Contact FEMA by:

• Going online at DisasterAssistance.gov
• Downloading the FEMA app
• Calling 800-621-3362 or TTY 800-462-7585

Those who use a relay service such as a videophone, InnoCaption or CapTel should alert FEMA as to the specific number assigned to that service.

If you receive a letter that says your application was denied, read the letter carefully to find out why. It may simply be that your information was not complete. A short captioned video can explain the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5RgXQytqVg&list=PL720Kw_OojlJCg2nvX7uU18QQsi16LaFp###.

1. 1. 1. you feel the decision was wrong, you can appeal in writing. For information on where to send the appeal, or for assistance, call the FEMA Helpline number 800-62 1-3362 or TTY 800-462-7585. Lawyers at the Louisiana Hurricane Delta Disaster Legal Hotline, 1-866-418-8315, can help you write the appeal if you need help and cannot afford a lawyer.

It is important to prepare before the next disaster strikes. Visit Ready.gov for ideas on how your household can make a plan.

Before the next storm, the hard of hearing, deaf, and persons with a sensory disability can review “Preparing Makes Sense for People with Disabilities and Other Access and Functional Needs,” a FEMA video presented in English and sign language. Visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLLMDOScE4g.

FEMA Awards Key West Utility Board $1.32 Million for Hurricane Irma Expenses

ORLANDO, Fla. – FEMA has approved a grant of $1,328,579 for the State of Florida to help the Key West Utility Board defray the cost of emergency response after Hurricane Irma in 2017.

FEMA Public Assistance program funds will reimburse the city for emergency measures taken to protect life and property, including lodging and meals for work crews who assisted in power restoration.

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.

What to Expect after Applying with FEMA

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Residents affected by Hurricane Zeta in Clarke, Dallas, Marengo, Mobile, Perry, Washington and Wilcox counties may want to know what comes next after applying for FEMA assistance.

Residents who haven’t applied yet should first file a claim with their insurance company, if they are insured. Then apply with FEMA by downloading the FEMA app to a smartphone or tablet, go online to DisasterAssistance.gov, or call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 (TTY 800-462-7585). Operators can also answer questions about applications already submitted. Lines are open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Those who use a relay service such as a videophone, InnoCaption or CapTel should update FEMA with their specific number assigned to that service.

After applying, here are a few reminders:

Clean up. Don’t wait to start cleaning up. Be sure to photograph or video the damage and keep all receipts and contractors’ estimates for repair work. 

Home Inspections. If you applied to FEMA and said you are unable to live in your home because of disaster damage caused by Hurricane Zeta, FEMA may contact you to set up a remote home inspection. FEMA will ask about the type and extent of damage and may arrange to inspect the damage remotely, by phone or using a video-conferencing service.

Remote inspections provide a new way of evaluating damage. It is comparable to traditional, in-person inspections and speeds delivery of recovery assistance to survivors.

FEMA may also assign an inspector to meet you outside your home, with social distancing, to view exterior damage. If you need accommodations for language or disability, call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 (TTY 800-462-7585) and let the specialists know your needs.

Residents with minimal damage who can live in their homes will not automatically be scheduled for a home inspection when applying for FEMA assistance. Instead, you will receive a FEMA letter asking that you call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. During this call, you may request an inspection if you find significant disaster-caused damage to your home.

A FEMA determination letter, sent by regular mail or email typically within 10 days after the inspection, will include the eligibility decision and an explanation for it. For those who are eligible for assistance, the letter states the dollar amount of the grant and how the money must be used. If you disagree with FEMA’s decision, the letter explains how to appeal the decision.

It is important to read the determination letter carefully. FEMA may request additional information or documentation from an applicant—such as an insurance settlement decision.

Owners and renters whose homes are insured for damage need to submit documentation to FEMA to show their coverage is not enough to meet their disaster-related needs. You can also submit insurance documentation to FEMA if you have run out of the Additional Living Expenses your insurance company provided. FEMA cannot pay for damage covered by insurance or duplicate benefits from another source.

If you still have questions, call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 (TTY 800-462-7585). You can also find details about the FEMA inspection process by visiting www.fema.gov/what-happens-inspection. The deadline to apply for FEMA disaster assistance is Monday, Feb. 8.

SBA является главным источником государственного финансирования долгосрочного восстановления частной собственности, пострадавшей от стихийного бедствия. SBA помогает домовладельцам, арендаторам жилья, бизнесам любого размера и частным некоммерческим организациям финансировать ремонтно-восстановительные работы и покрыть стоимость замещения утраченного или повреждённого в результате стихийного бедствия личного имущества. Эти чрезвычайные займы покрывают расходы, которые полностью не компенсируются страховкой или из других источников, но при этом они не дублируют льготы, предоставляемые другими агентствами или организациями. Для получения более подробной информации обращайтесь в Центр клиентского обслуживания SBA по вопросам чрезвычайной помощи по телефону 800-659-2955, по электронной почте disastercustomerservice@sba.gov или на веб-сайт SBA www.sba.gov/disaster. Глухие и слабослышащие могут позвонить по телефону (800) 877-8339.

Если вы или знакомый вам человек подверглись дискриминации, звоните в FEMA по бесплатному телефону 800-621-3362 (текстовый телефон TTY 800-462-7585).  Пользователям релейной службы, такой как видеофон, InnoCaption или CapTel, следует сообщить FEMA свой номер в этой службе. Учтите, что звонки от FEMA могут поступать с неидентифицированных номеров телефона. Предоставляется обслуживание на разных языках. (Для обслуживания на испанском нажмите 2).

FEMA Establishes Emergency Management Priorities and Allocations System

WASHINGTON - FEMA recently published a final rule in the Federal Register to prioritize and allocate contracts for health and medical resources in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This finalizes the interim rule from May 13, 2020 and enables FEMA to provide for the continued supply of critical medical resources to the American public.

The rule establishes the Emergency Management Priorities and Allocations System (EMPAS), which will become part of the Federal Priorities and Allocations System (FPAS) body of regulations that establish standards under Section 101 of the Defense Production Act (DPA). The DPA, signed into law in 1950, allows the government to direct private companies to meet the needs of the national defense.

EMPAS has two principal components:  priorities and allocations. Under priorities, contracts or orders necessary for national defense are given preference over other contracts or orders. Under the allocation component, materials, services and facilities may be allocated for domestic use to promote national defense.

This rule is one of several previously published under the Defense Production Act. The following agencies with existing DPA Section 101 authority includes the departments of Commerce, Energy, Health and Human Services, Transportation and Agriculture. The regulations from these agencies currently constitute the FPAS.  FEMA’s EMPAS provisions are consistent with FPAS regulations issued by sister agencies.
