The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) is hosting Virtual COVID-19 Public Assistance applicant briefings on Tuesdays throughout the month of October. The meetings will cover FEMA Public Assistance eligibility changes that went into effect on Sept. 15, Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity CURES funding opportunities, and much more. 

Organizations that are planning to participate in the Public Assistance Program are encouraged to attend an applicant briefing in October, as new information will be presented at these meetings. 

Briefings will be held at 10 a.m. on Oct. 6, 13, 20, and 27. Registration is required, and it's suggested that you register ASAP. Information on how to join can be found using the link below:

IEMA also sent us the following documents to reference moving forward:

  2. FEMA Resource Roadmap

Thank you,
Lake County Emergency Management
