About the Workshop

The FEMA public assistance process following a hurricane or other emergency situation is arduous. In order for storm-related purchases to be eligible for FEMA reimbursement, specific procurement policies and procedures must be followed.

This workshop will cover a review of FEMA procurement requirements, recommendations and best practices from previous events, and an updated Public Power Procurement Toolkit that will include templates and worksheets to ensure compliant processes and procedures for spending federal grant funding.
