Government agencies and certain private non-profit organizations needing funds to rebuild infrastructure damages caused by hurricane Irene must register with FEMA no later than Oct. 1, 2011. The deadline is extended to Oct. 17th for Grand Isle County.
FEMA's Public Assistance (Infrastructure) program reimburses state and municipal governments for the cost of eligible emergency protective measures, debris removal, and the repair, restoration, reconstruction or replacement of public infrastructure such as roads and bridges, water control facilities, public buildings and contents, public utilities and parks, and other recreational facilities damaged during a disaster. FEMA will fund up to 75 percent of the cost of approved projects.
Registering with FEMA does not obligate you to accept the assistance. If you miss the deadline however, you will not be eligible for consideration of disaster relief funding.
Some private non-profit organizations may qualify for aid to restore certain types of facilities that include educational, utility, emergency, medical, custodial care, and other facilities that provide essential government types of services. FEMA, working with the Vermont Agency of Transportation, will make a determination if the services provided by private non-profit organizations are critical or non-critical. If FEMA determines that the services provided are non-critical, you will be required to exhaust assistance from SBA before being considered for assistance from FEMA.
Download a copy of FEMA's Request for Public Aassistance form. The completed form should be faxed to 802-828-2848.
If you need assistance in completing the form, please contact: Alec Portalupi: 802-828-3889, email: [email protected] or Gary Schelley: 802-828-0425, email: [email protected].
