  8. We normally work through thelocal emergency managersexcept forconstruction project management.

  9. Post Disaster – Presidential Disaster Declaration • Colorado DEM works in cooperation with our federal partner, FEMA, to administer the recovery and mitigation programs. • In the case of the rural electric cooperatives, we would probably ask to coordinate initial and group activities through the CREA and ultimately work through the actual cooperatives on damages and restoration. • We would ask for participation in the federal-state-local damage assessment process.

  10. We would hold briefings for entities potentially eligible to participate in the FEMA infrastructure recovery (cost share-reimbursement) program (Public Assistance program). Procurement, contracting, and use of force account labor all need to be compliant if expecting or eligible for any federal reimbursement. • FEMA disaster personnel work with rural electric staff to develop project worksheets.
