The SDRP is designed to provide financial assistance to local governments and eligible non-profit organizations impacted by disasters. These funds are intended to SUPPLEMENT NOT SUPPLANT an applicant’s resources and therefore, applicants must demonstrate the disaster has overwhelmed local resources and that other avenues of financial assistance have been exhausted prior to requesting assistance through the SDRP.
In summary, in order to be eligible to apply, three steps are required: 1. Damage Assessment: The estimated cost of the disaster must meet a county-wide per capita requirement.
This means that the costs associated with eligible work for all potential applicants within a particular county must exceed a dollar amount (adjusted annually in October based on FEMA’s changes to the Public Assistance Grant Program’s requirements) before that county can be considered for funding. For Federal Fiscal Year 2024, in order to determine your county’s per capita, multiple your county population (2020 census) times $4. 60.
Important to note: only those potential applicants that participate in the damage assessment process will be eligible to apply should the SDRP be made available. 2.
State Actions: Governor’s written authorization and approval by the State Controlling Board: The estimated cost of the disaster, as well as other impacts of the disaster (e.g. road closures, damage to critical infrastructure, concentration of damage, etc.) will all be considered when evaluating a request to authorize the SDRP. 3.
Application to the SDRP: Once authorized, eligible applicants will follow the application process outlined below. This program only accepts applications following an applicable disaster declaration. Should the program open, applicable disaster declarations will be posted online at governor.
