  5. The FMAGP Process 2013 FMAG

  6. Declaration Request The Governor, GAR, or Indian tribal government submit submits a request for a Fire Management Assistance Grant declaration to the Regional Administrator while the fire is: • Burning uncontrolled, • threatens such destruction as would constitute a major disaster, and • addresses the criteria set forth in 44 CFR § 204.21 with factual data and professional estimates on the fire or fire complex. 2013 FMAG

  7. FMAGP Declaration Criteria 1. Threat to lives and improved property, including threats to critical facilities, infrastructure, and critical watershed areas; 2. Availability of State and local firefighting resources; 3. High fire danger conditions, as indicated by nationally accepted indices such as the National Fire Danger Ratings System; 4. Potential major economic impact. 2013 FMAG

  8. Requesting a Major Disaster Declaration A request for a major disaster declaration must be based on FEMA’s determination that the situation is of such severity and magnitude to be beyond the capabilities of California and it's local governments. While other relevant information is considered, following are the primary factors when requesting Public Assistance funding under a major declaration: • Estimated cost of assistance - currently the per capita impact must exceed $3.39 or $50.2 million for an event (FEMA updates this figure annually on October 1) • Localized impacts • Insurance coverage • Disaster history within the last 12 months • Other Federal assistance requested (i.e., USFS, NRCS, FHWA) More information is available by calling the Recovery Division at (916) 845-8200 or by visiting http://www.calema.ca.gov/LandingPages/Pages/Recovery.aspx 2013 FMAG

  9. Principal Advisor • Official of the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, or Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Department of the Interior • Called upon by FEMA’s Regional Office to provide a technical assessment of the fire or fire complex for which a declaration request has been submitted • Completes FEMA Form 078-0-2 (90-32, the Principal Advisor’s Report and submits to the Regional Administrator for inclusion in the declaration request package 2013 FMAG

  10. Fire Cost Threshold • The State’s eligible fire costs must meet either its individual fire cost threshold or cumulative fire cost threshold • The fire cost thresholds are adjusted annually • Costs for declared fires within a fire complex are aggregated and treated as one fire when compared to the thresholds 2013 FMAG

  11. Selected FY 2013 Fire Cost Thresholds Individual Cumulative Alaska $100,000 $500,000 Arizona $431,461 $1,294,383 California $2,551,896 $7,655,688 Delaware $100,000 $500,000 Florida $1,269,088 $3,807,265 2013 FMAG

  12. Grant Application (cont.) • Before FEMA can approve the State’s grant application, all the following criteria must be satisfied: – The fire cost threshold must be met – An approved State Administrative Plan must be in place – The FEMA-State Agreement must be executed – An approved State Mitigation Plan must be in place 2013 FMAG

  17. Cal OES ABC Form (F-158)  Community Threatened/Population : Articulate fire threat and/or potential threaten to community. Residences and impact.  Persons Evacuated : How many? Where were they evacuated to? If evacuations have not occurred yet, how soon do you anticipate it happening? What is the decision point?  Shelters : Have shelters been opened and if so, where? 2013 FMAG

  18. Cal OES ABC Form (F-158) • Number of Structures Threatened : There is no minimum number of structures threatened that dictates whether a fire will qualify or not. The number is used in relation to the rest of the information provided. A threat to 30 structures in a large sub division does not carry the same weight as if the 30 structures threatened represented an entire community. 2013 FMAG

  19. Cal OES ABC Form (F-158) o Infrastructure/Facilities/Equipment/Threatened : Power lines, water supply, businesses and government facilities are examples of infrastructure that constitute a threat. It is critical, however, that enough information is provided to articulate how the loss of any of this infrastructure will constitute a major disaster for the community, region or State. Will the loss of the power lines affect local or regional power distribution? Is this the only water supply for a large portion or all of a community? Will the loss of a local business such as a lumber mill create a significant impact on local employment? 2013 FMAG

  20. Cal OES ABC Form (F-158) • Proximity to structures : Distance fire is from structures 1/8 of a mile or in the back yards. Rate of travel, speed the fire is moving. Distance and approximate arrival time. • Resources Available : Show resource in significant drawdown in local and Op Area. This is included % drawdown in Local and Op areas including numbers and types, # of crews, If an IMT was ordered, Air Resources assigned or and orders of ground and air resources. Incident competing for resources, multiple incident effecting local, operation area, region or State resource request. Region to Region ordering. What are the response times for the next available resources? • County EOC Activation : Is the County EOC activated and if so, to what level? If it is not activated, is there a trigger point that dictates when it will be? 2013 FMAG
