Did You Know that FEMA Grant Funds Extend Beyond Equipment Purchases?
Last November, Timothy Manning, FEMA’s Deputy Administrator of the National Preparedness Directorate (NPD) announced that preparedness grant funds can be used for fees associated with equipment purchases.
An excerpt from the FEMA Grants Program Directorate’s bulletin released by his office:
“Effective [November 2o, 2009], the use of FEMA preparedness grant funds for maintenance contracts, warranties, repair or replacement costs, upgrades, and user fees are allowable under all active and future grant awards, unless otherwise noted.”
