“Thanks to the use of IDAM we had answers and accurate information ready for the governor the minute she stepped off the plane. Also, If it were not for IDAM I am sure the relief from the state and the federal government would have been delayed for many more days.” Sam Hodge, Georgetown County Emergency Manager

to the needed disaster responses (i.e., "declaring the disaster” or not)

– Where on the map in the community– Initial estimates of damage by connecting to the property

appraiser / assessor data

• Documented estimates produce FEMA forms• Report your damages to FEMA• Support organization, coordination and

communication after a natural disaster • When a disaster happens it’s not the time to learn

the hard way.

• How does FEMA get involved in a State disaster?

– State has declared a state of emergency,– State will evaluate the recovery

capabilities of the State and Local Governments.

– Governor will send a request letter to the President, directed through the Regional Director of the appropriate FEMA region.

– The President then makes the decision whether or not to declare a major disaster or emergency.

• How does FEMA get involved in a State disaster?

– After a presidential declaration has been made, FEMA will designate the area eligible for assistance and announce the types of assistance available. FEMA provides supplemental assistance for State and local government recovery expenses, and the Federal share will always be at least 75 percent of the eligible costs.
