Subject: RX Public Assistance COVID-19 FEMA Daily Update 5.20.2020

Good afternoon,

Here’s today’s update! Please keep letting us know how we can assist you, and if there are any particular topics or questions you’d like to be addressed.

CARES Act funding as Match for PA: Update addressing the White House Statement on authorization for States to utilize coronavirus relief funding for FEMA cost share. FEMA has reached out to the Dept of Treasury to seek additional information and expected timing for Treasury to publish related guidance updates, to include how this will impact EMPG-S. Treasury indicated that they will update their posted guidance to include this information and that they were expecting an additional memo from the White House regarding this bullet in the briefing. Treasury was not able to provide a target date for posting the updated guidance. Treasury has not yet posted the online portal for Tribes to request additional funds referenced on their CARES Act page as of 5/14. FEMA PA is also working on general guidance regarding duplication of benefits for various COVID resources. We hope to provide further clarification soon, and will update accordingly.

Interagency Update – HHS funding matrix: See the attached excel matrix (v.2) for publicly available information on HHS grants receiving supplemental funding under any COVID-19 stimulus legislation. This tool, which is continually updated and revised, is designed to help support identification of resources that are available to help with response and recovery issues related to COVID-19.

Clarification on USDA funding for depopulation and/or disposal:

• * Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) does not cover costs of depopulation or carcass disposal. Under CFAP, assistance to livestock producers has two components – animals sold between January 15, 2020 to April 15, 2020 and livestock inventory subject to price risk on a date of the producers choosing between April 16, 2020, to May 14, 2020. Animals that are a part of a producer’s inventory on the date he/she chooses are eligible for a CFAP payment. More information on CFAP can be found at www.farmers.gov/cfap.

• * USDA Animal Plant Inspection Health Inspection Services (APIHIS) and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) are providing technical assistance related to depopulation activities and while funding is not available for euthanizing or indemnification of livestock, NRCS does provide resources for just the carcass disposal through the EQIP program: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/newsroom/stakeholder-info/sa_by_date/sa-2020/sa-04/meat-processing-coordination-center. Producers who are considering depopulation should contact their local NRCS office prior to initiating any depopulation activity. Producers can find their local NRCS contact information in the Find Your Local Service Center on www.farmers.gov.

PA Training – Independent Study Courses: The Emergency Management Institute (EMI) website, will be performing scheduled maintenance on Thursday, May 21, 2020 at 7:00 AM EDT. Service is expected to be restored by 10:00 AM EDT. During this time Independent Study exams, the Online Admissions Application, and Instructor Media Download Application (IMDA), will not be available. If you experience any issues outside of this maintenance window please contact EMI.
