Known FEMA Site Issues
Many programs continue to have issues with the FEMA 'registration' site HERE.
From the above link, you can register and manage the national listing of your program. You can also complete your annual 'certification' with FEMA and update the number of hours your program volunteers have contributed.
While FEMA adjusted the site from requiring a password reset (and locking people out of accounts) every 45 days, to every 365 days, many Coordinators / Managers remain locked out and need to go through the reset process to regain access.
For additional support, you can email FEMA directly at: fema-prepare@fema.dhs.gov
Please include the State CERT Coordinator (jdvittie@dps.ohio.gov) in your email as well, for tracking and reporting to FEMA Region 5.
