Special Districts are encouraged to register for a training and to create an account to pre-load your important documents:
CalOES is encouraging local agencies to participate in a webinar to jump start the Grants Portal account set up process. It is their hope that local agencies with critical infrastructure, such as Special Districts, will create an account and pre-load essential documentation prior to the onset of any need for assistance so the award of funding and recovery process can be jumpstarted should disaster strike and the future need arise.

The purpose of the webinars will be twofold:
1. Enable agencies to create an account in the Grants Portal and learn how to pre-load documents, such as maintenance records, insurance documents, and other essential documentation. Having this information already attached to an account would facilitate a vastly speedier delivery of assistance in the aftermath of a disaster; and,

2. Any agencies who have been impacted by an event that qualifies under a Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) declaration, the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA), or a Presidential Emergency Declaration who have current active applications in the Public Assistance Program will receive assistance to aid in the Grants application and delivery process.
