Reference These Resources to Participate in PA Program
April 27, 2020
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is continuing to provide guidance on how to use its Grants Portal. Reference these resources if your organization is planning to participate in the Public Assistance (PA) Program.
FEMA also has created an online course to instruct applicants and recipients on how they can accurately capture emergency protective measure activities. This includes documenting costs concerning actual overtime based on payroll policies, equipment usage, and reasonable materials purchases. More information on this course can be found here.
We hope you find these resources valuable as your organization participates in this program. We will provide further updates as we receive information and direction from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and FEMA.
