FEMA will host a virtual Tribal consultation on the implementation of the Community Disaster Resilience Zones Act enacted on December 20, 2022. Senior leadership from FEMA’s Grant Programs Directorate (GPD) will lead the consultation. GPD provides grants to prepare state, local, tribal, and territorial governments and first responders, as well as non-profit organizations and port and transit system owners/operators, to measurably improve capability and reduce the risks from manmade and natural disasters. Topics of discussion include:
- How best to include Tribal Lands in zone designations.
- How best to use census data at the census tract level, as required by the law, to include Tribal lands within a state.
- Best strategies to communicate designation of Zones.
All consultation materials will eventually be posted on: www.fema.gov/about/tribes/consultations.
