Slide16FEMA Funds Help First Responders Get the Job Done
FEMA is not a first responder – but we can help other emergency agencies do their jobs by:
Reimbursing them for emergency protective measures
Helping them pay overtime costs for crucial personnel
The agency also can provide:
Supplies for individuals, such as clean drinking water, blankets and cots
Generators for essential facilities like hospitals
Slide17Recovery: Helping individuals and their communities get back on their feet after a disaster
Slide18FEMA helps people and their communities recover after disasters
Our Disaster Survivor Assistance teams get information to people in need.
Our Individual Assistance program awards recovery grants to individuals, their families and businesses. These funds give many survivors a boost towards getting back on their feet.
FEMA’s Public Assistance program reimburses communities for disaster-related expenses.
The National Disaster Recovery Framework deals with longer term recovery issues. It coordinates assistance from government at all levels, as well as the private sector.
