Be 'proactive' rather than 'reactive'.
- What is the structure, organization of the State Administrative Agency (SAA) in your jurisdiction?
- Has your grant submission for DHS\FEMA grants for non-disaster, disaster, or other grant opportunities been disapproved?
- Why?
- Have you asked?
- In your jurisdiction is your nonprofit or faith-based grant proposal submitted thru the local or State SAA is submitted as a 'package', and when approved funding is funneled thru the SAA to the receive?
- Is this part of the process in your state?
- Is there an SAA process in addition to the FEMA process for grant submission, and restitution when a disaster occurs?
- For disaster funding. What is the timeframe for payment for restitution?
- 30-days?
- 60? Unacceptable. Why?
- 180? Unacceptable. Why?
Just a start of a continuous dialog for communities, community based organizations, and others to ask before, during, and after a crisis occurs.
Anything else is 'business as usual'.

Additionally, the SAA is one of two eligible entities allowed to apply for the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) (the state Emergency Management Agency is the other). "
