![]() Individual Assistance (IA) Regulatory Changes Wednesday, August 7, 2024 6:00:00 PM UTC - 7:00:00 PM UTC
The event has ended. Thank you Please join the Region 2 National Preparedness and Recovery Divisions for a webinar discussing the recent regulatory changes to the Individual Assistance (IA) Program. FEMA has amended its regulations governing the Individual Assistance program to simplify processes, remove barriers to entry and increase eligibility for certain types of assistance under the program. This is the first major reform of Individual Assistance regulations in over 20 years and is a key part of the administration and FEMA’s efforts to transform and improve the experience of disaster survivors. These changes are a direct result of feedback received from disaster survivors, states, tribes and territories and other stakeholders regarding the challenges disaster survivors experience following disasters and looking at how to improve the survivor experience. Who should attend: State, local, tribal, territorial staff engaged in disaster recovery of a federally declared disaster to include Individual Assistance (IA), Whole Community partners interested in learning about the changes. FEMA works to ensure equitable access for all to any services and programs that are provided by the agency. If you need a reasonable accommodation, please make your request in an email to fema-r2-prepares@fema.dhs.gov. Last minute requests will be accepted, but may not be possible to fulfill.
