FEMA to hold Applicant briefing on July 23rd


The Florida Division of Emergency Management (DEM) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have confirmed that an Applicant Briefing is scheduled for 1:00 PM, July 23rd, at the Franklin County EOC. At the Applicant Briefing, the State will go over eligibility requirements for the FEMA Public Assistance (PA) program, as well as request that potential applicants submit a Request for Public Assistance (RPA) on the FloridaPA.org website. Instructions on how to do this will be provided at the Applicant Briefing.  
Prior to the date of the Applicant Briefing, please notify all potential applicants in the county that have incurred damages to send a representative to attend the Applicant Briefing at the above confirmed location and time. These applicants can include county agencies/departments, municipalities, villages, towns, districts, and private non-profits. Private non-profits can include educational, utility, emergency, medical, custodial care, and other entities such as museums, zoos, homeless shelters, libraries, etc.
 What we’re planning on doing is conducting the Kickoff Meeting immediately following the Applicant Briefing (same day, same location), starting with the county.

At the Kickoff Meeting, the county will need to have representatives that can provide a list of recovery projects, their estimated or actual costs, and copies of any insurance policies with itemized coverage and statement of values. Depending on the recovery project, the county may also want to provide representatives that could address any insurance, environmental, or historical issues.
FEMA will then schedule the remaining Kick-Off Meetings with the other applicants as RPA’s are entered, reviewed and approved.
