STORM DAMAGE REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE
FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
(FEMA) AND THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
BACKGROUND
The late winter rain stonns which commenced on February 13, 1995. and continued through
April 19, 1995, brought unusually large amounts of rain. The unanticipated quantities of rain
resulted in flooding, mud slides, road washouts and other stonn related damages to public and
private property throughout California.
As a result of the widespread damage, Governor Wilson declared disaster areas in 18 counties
within the State of California. A request for a Presidential Proclamation was requested and
granted. As a result of these declarations, several State and Federal Assistance Programs were
made available to both public and private entities that suffered stonn.related losses. This
disaster period is identified as Disaster Number FEMA-I 046-DR,
FINDINGS
City staff attended an "Applicant Briefing" for public agencies with representatives from the
State Office of Emergency Services (OES) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA). As a result of infonnation obtained at that meeting, City staff submitted
reimbursement claims totaling $105,552 for 6 damage survey reports.

There are three categories of work for which the City qualified for reimbursement. These
categories are established by State OES and FEMA officials to simplify reponing requirements
and are as follows:
Category A . "Debris Removal"
- Clearance of debris and wreckage from publicly and privately owned land and waters
- Clean out of reservoirs, debris catch basins, streams and opening channels or facilities
Category B - "Emergency Protective Measures"
, Construction of emergency levees, pumping, sandbagging and patrolling
. Search and rescue, fire and police services. Emergency Operations Center (EOe)
activities, and safety inspections
. Emergency communication and transponation
Category C ' "Road Systems"
- Any construction feature within a public right-of-way that is essential to make the
-
road or street a functional whole, such as
Bridges
Drainage Structures
Embankments
Safety Features
Although other categories exist, it was not necessary to file claims in Categories D-G.
Since the agency briefings, staff representatives from Public Works, Safety Services. State OES
and FEMA have held several meetings to complete the City's Application for Reimbursement.
To complete our application, two fmal documents must be submitted before reimbursements can
be issued, These are the "Project Application for Federal Assistance" (OES-89) and a
"Resolution" designating the City's authorized representative. These are included as
Attachments "A" and "B",
As a requirement of the City's participation in this program, a revenue fund must be established
for the deposit of the state warrant once it is received. Under no circumstances are expenditures
to be made from this fund for any damages other than those claims already submitted and
approved. In addition, this revenue is subject to all the policies and provision of the Single Audit
Act of 1984, Public Law 98,502, enacted October 19,1984,
To date, we have received approval for $49,405.00 in reimbursement.
