Description:

Disasters don’t just happen during hurricane season. In recent years, events ranging from freak windstorms to excessively heavy rain and snow events have highlighted how vulnerable a community can be to the devastation caused by a disaster. Preparedness is not just having the right emergency equipment; it is also having the right information you need to present your case to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for appropriate financial reimbursement.

Designed with all levels of community/government personnel in mind, this course will present the basics on how to best prepare an application for the FEMA reimbursement program when a disaster is declared. Recordkeeping, discussion of the “damage definition,” and application hints and hacks will make the often-confusing process more manageable.

Be prepared – learn what you need to know before disaster strikes!
