North Carolina Emergency Management

North Carolina Emergency Management Changes: • DRRA (Disaster Recovery Reform Act 2018) changed the way administrative costs for mitigation projects will be paid— guidance forthcoming. • 2020 will be the last PDM opportunity—the BRIC (Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities) Program will replace PDM in 2020—NC Not a Likely Candidate FEMA programmatic guidance and webinars forthcoming • Mitigation Section adding additional staff in coming months to increase service capabilities.

North Carolina Emergency Management Key Dates • 10 th of every month– Progress Reports • “soon” NOFA for additional Florence HMGP and Dorian HMGP opportunities

North Carolina Emergency Management Challenges: Ø Bureau Net (NFIP info) off line; replacement system not functioning Ø NC not a likely candidate for PDM or FMA 2019 due to high stakes HMGP opportunities Ø Staffing (State and Local) Ø Labor/Construction Costs, Work force availability
