FEMA Advisory

FEMA to Host Webinars to Explain Public Assistance Simplified Procedures Policy 

---

FEMA has announced it will host webinars from January 31-February 3 to explain the updated Public Assistance (PA) Simplified Procedures policy. The policy simplifies implementation of the Public Assistance program to support rapid recovery for applicants.

In August 2022, FEMA published a final rule to increase the small project maximum for the agency’s program to $1 million to reduce the administrative burden on state, local, tribal, or territorial governments and private non-profits receiving FEMA financial grants following a disaster. A small project has costs below the threshold, while a large project has costs equal to or above the $1 million threshold.

Here is the webinar schedule:
