Following the recent natural disaster, we paused our scheduled programming to provide our viewers with key information on Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assistance for recovery. This podcast provides essential details on deadlines, the application process for the FEMA Public Assistance Program and what to expect after applying.
Kat Kizior, Grant Management Manager, and new co-host Paula Heller, Grants Management Senior Associate, join forces to address FEMA grant funding possibilities for all those affected by unexpected, devastating acts of nature.
The information in this podcast is applicable for any natural disaster where the president approves a major disaster declaration. Kat and Paula focus on Hurricane Helene and discuss navigating the FEMA Public Assistance process in the wake of the recent storm.
As part of Cherry Bekaert’s GPS Grants Management podcast series, this episode covers:
- The challenges and realities people face after a natural disaster
- How FEMA is funded and how funds flow from FEMA to applicants
- The types of funding available for individuals and public entities
- Categories for eligible expenses that can be covered by FEMA
- Deadlines and processes, particularly in the first 30 and 60 days
