As part of the PTRC's ongoing training in disaster recovery and resiliency work, this is a standalone training that will be beneficial to first-time attendees, as well as those who attended previous sessions. Our trainings are interrelated, and inclusive of previous content, without being sequential.

This in-person offering is meant to train all who are involved in the community's response to federally declared disasters, especially local government finance staff, management, elected officials, planners and emergency management professionals.

After this training, you will be able to explain the financial and programmatic closeout process for FEMA Public Assistance (PA) projects, outline how insurance coverage affects PA funding received, and plan for the use of donated resources after a disaster.

We will also cover:

• A high-level overview of the FEMA PA program,
• Roles of North Carolina Emergency Management in the PA process, and
• Measures that can be put into place pre-disaster, such as an emergency procurement policy, job description language that enables PA funding eligibility and more.
