Abstract:

Local private nonprofits (PNPs) may be reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency either for their work to protect the lives of the general public immediately before, during, or after a disaster, or for work associated with the PNP's site, equipment, or facilities. The former may include mass feeding, mass shelter operations, search and rescue operations, or emergency medical services. The latter may include debris removal, protective preparation of the PNP's buildings and equipment, repair or replacement of its buildings or equipment, or the use of temporary buildings or equipment. However, before a local PNP may be reimbursed, it must meet several eligibility requirements, as well as cost-share requirements. This report will not be updated.
