SUMMARY:FEMA Office Hours | Updated Guide to Help Communities with Resilience Grants
DESCRIPTION:Session 1: August 15 at 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Eastern\nRegister \nSession 2: September 12 at 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Eastern\nRegister \nThe update consolidates information and eligibility requirements for Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) projects addressing air quality\, drought\, extreme temperatures\, wildfire and wind. It also reflects recent policy changes to simplify program delivery through streamlined cost effectiveness methods and a lower benefit-cost analysis discount rate. \nState\, local\, Tribal and territorial governments may use the guide to navigate the application process and manage the grant lifecycle to receive critical resilience dollars. Information in the guide includes policies and processes to enable effective and consistent implementation across all HMA programs.\nHMA provides funding to reduce the risk and impact of disasters such as wildfires\, drought\, extreme heat\, hurricanes\, earthquakes and flooding. Programs in HMA are Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC)\, Flood Mitigation Assistance\, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and HMGP Post Fire. \nThe update follows the update last year—the first since 2015—that incorporated climate change and future conditions\, equity\, building codes\, capability and capacity building\, nature-based solutions and community lifelines as key principles for its grant programs. It was also the first guide to cover BRIC. \nThis aligns with FEMA’s “people first” approach and helps communities build climate resilience through reducing complexity and barriers to accessing our HMA grant funds. It also aligns with the 2024 FEMA Year of Resilience theme to build capacity to withstand tomorrow’s hazards.\nFEMA is offering two Office Hours sessions which provides an overview of the recent updates. Registration is now open.

SUMMARY:USDA Forest Service - Tribal Forum - Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Policy
DESCRIPTION:Please join the USDA Forest Service for an August 20\, 2024\, Tribal Forum on Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Policies. The USDA Forest Service is pursuing a range of climate change adaptation and mitigation policies to protect\, conserve\, and manage national forests and grasslands for climate resilience. This Tribal Forum will focus on the first series of policy revisions to address water quality best management practices\, water data\, recreation fee waivers\, and fire management in wilderness\, wild and scenic rivers. \n  \nTribal Forum Details \nDate: August 20\, 2024\nTime: 1:00 p.m. Eastern\nRegister in Advance: Meeting Registration – Zoom (zoomgov.com) \n**If the above registration link does not work\, please copy and paste this URL into your web browser: https://www.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/vJIsd-CvpjkvGo7coWnxDXm9rMTPI25k1Pk** \nThe Forest Service recently completed a climate-oriented review of national policies and procedures in response to Secretary Vilsack’s Memorandum on Climate Resilience and Carbon Stewardship and the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) on Climate Resilient Forests and Grasslands. This review and input received during National Tribal engagement and public comment informed options for climate-adaptive changes to agency policy\, guidance\, and program implementation involving carbon stewardship\, water and watersheds\, wildlife\, planning\, wood product innovation\, and outdoor recreation. Please note that opportunities to consult on the ANPR will remain available until its conclusion. More information on the ongoing opportunity to consult is available at https://www.fs.usda.gov/working-with-us/tribal-relations/national-consultation#CurrentConsultation. The Forest Service will extend separate invitations to consult on specific climate adaptation and mitigation policy revisions. \nThe agency is beginning to develop the first in this series of options to modernize and adapt current Forest Service internal guidance and procedures to better anticipate\, identify\, and respond to rapidly changing conditions associated with climate amplified impacts. The upcoming Tribal forum will focus on an initial set of four potential changes to the Forest Service Manual and Handbook. Over the next several years\, we anticipate future opportunities for Tribes and Alaska Native Corporations to engage on additional climate adaptation and mitigation policy reforms. \nFor more information\, or to request consultation on the proposed policies\, please contact your regional Tribal relations program manager or Reed Robinson\, Director of the Office of Tribal Relations in Washington\, DC\, at SM.FS.otrtribalcon@usda.gov. Thank you.
