How to be FEMA Ready When Disaster Hits (Rebroadcast)
This program is a rebroadcast of the original program. It is offered again due to popular demand, in case you were not able to attend. This event will be streamed to you and will require use of your computer’s speakers.
When an emergency occurs, public works professionals are held responsible for decisions made in situations over which they have no control. After the initial emergency response, the long process of asset recovery begins.
There are many complications to the disaster reimbursement process. By implementing a thorough and effective long-term recovery plan you CAN control how your agency responds which may aid in rapid recovery of assets.
This session will help you identify what you should have ready before disaster strikes and what you can expect in dealing with FEMA after the disaster.
Learn from program speakers who have faced natural disasters and were successful in resolving funding issues with FEMA.
After viewing this program, participants will be better able to:
1.Recognize the need for recovery planning as well as response planning
2.Justify the value of a good asset management system that gives you quantifiable information to help identify the cost of bringing assets back into use
3.Anticipate the length of time and resources involved in the recovery process ( years rather than days)
In the last five years every state has experienced a disaster declaration so preparing for one should be a priority for every community. With declining financial resources this is a must see program!
This program has been approved for .2 CEUs or 2 PDHs. The form to request these credits is included in the handouts for this program. Please note there is a $5 fee per individual requesting CEUs.
