SUMMARY:NCAI Native Get Out the Vote Webinars
DESCRIPTION:August 28 at 12:00 pm Central/1:00 pm Eastern\nRegister \nThe National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) is pleased to announce the launch of a coordinated non-partisan national Native Get Out The Vote (GOTV) Campaign. While several valuable efforts championed by Tribal Nations and Native organizations are already occurring across Indian Country\, NCAI is interested in culling together these efforts by sharing GOTV tool kits\, resources\, and financial support to Tribal Nations to ensure active engagement in the upcoming federal elections. \nOur GOTV work is intentionally non-partisan.  As former NCAI President Jefferson Keel (Chickasaw) used to say\, “The work we do is not ‘D’ for Democrat or ‘R’ for Republican but ‘I’ for Indian.”  Our goal is to excite our fellow American Indian and Alaska Native people to vote and to support a “Sovereignty Ticket” of key issues critical to Tribal Nations and their citizens. \nNCAI will concentrate efforts across three distinct phases: \n\nLaunch activities to encourage election participation;\nPlan additional mobilization and engagement exercises leading up to election day; and\,\nProvide technical support for the incoming administration\, whomever that may be.\n\nKey actions will include: \n\nProducing a short video to excite and encourage people to vote;\nHolding a series of webinars across the NCAI regions;\nCreating trusted messenger videos with American Indian and Alaska Native celebrities and federal legislators; and\nSharing short 30-second video testimonials to urge Native voter participation.\n\nPlease\, plan to join one of our webinars during the week of August 19. These sessions will be co-hosted by myself\, regional NCAI vice presidents\, and alternates. The theme for these webinars is: Recognizing the Snyder Act 100th Anniversary—Honoring the Past; Preparing for Our Future. \nThe agenda for the webinars is as follows: \n\nIntroductions\nImportance of Exercising Our Right to Vote\nBe the Margin of Victory\nEstablishing a “Tribal Sovereignty Ticket” and Federal Indian Policy Agenda\nMobilize/Activate Your Tribal Nation and Tribal Citizens\nTribal Leader Discussion

SUMMARY:DOI Division of Facility Management and Construction Tribal Consultations
DESCRIPTION:August 27 at 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm Eastern\nRegister in advance \nAugust 29 at 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm Eastern\nRegister in advance \nThe Office of Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs (AS-IA)\, Office of Facilities\, Property\, and Safety Management (OFPSM)\, Division of Facility Management and Construction (DFMC)\, will be conducting two virtual consultation sessions seeking Tribal oral and written comments and input to a new facilities Operation and Maintenance (O&M) funding formula for how the Federal Government requests O&M funds. \nPer the Department of the Interior’s Federal Real Property Profile (FRPP)\, O&M funds the following: \nOperations\, which is defined as the costs for services related to the normal performance of functions for which the facility is used (include contracted services when applicable but exclude Federal personnel costs). Examples include but are not limited to utilities\, cleaning/janitorial\, roads/grounds\, and actual operations costs. All services include personnel\, equipment and supplies. \nMaintenance\, which is defined as the recurring annualized costs for planned activities needed to maintain an asset’s functionality and capacity over its expected life. This includes but is not limited to planned and scheduled activities such as inspections\, preventive maintenance\, refinishing\, painting\, weatherproofing\, and parts replacement. This also includes costs for contracted maintenance services and other expenses and supplies required to perform recurring activities to maintain the asset. Actual repair expenditures are included in the annual maintenance costs. Included are costs for personnel\, supplies\, and materials. \nThe current allocation formula for O&M funding as implemented in 1990 was based on having access to a comprehensive asset inventory with component level costing. This approach relies on having granular\, current\, and accurate data maintained by each individual site for each building. \nThe DFMC would like to stream-line and make transparent calculating O&M allocations\, which includes data that is readily available in the Indian Affairs – Facility Management System (IAFMS)\, which is currently Maximo. \nDuring these Tribal Consultations\, DFMC is requesting your input on what considerations you think should be included in a formula to calculate total O&M needs that will support annual budget requests. Areas of consideration DFMC is seeking input include the following. \n\nShould a formula be based on industry best practice standards and utilize data that is readily available in the Indian Affairs — Facility Management System (IA-FMS)\, which is currently Maximo\, or are Tribes open to new types of facility data being collected if the\ninformation is not in Maximo?\nSome calculation factors for the formula being considered are gross square feet (GSF) of\nfacilities\, location (nearest reference city)\, type of facility\, and age of facility. Are these effective factors or are there other aspects that should be taken into account?\n\nThe DFMC would also like your input on the distribution methodology. The DFMC proposes that O&M funds will be distributed on a pro rata percentage basis based on the calculated need and the O&M funds that are appropriated. \nThese one ( 1) hour virtual consultation sessions will provide the opportunity for the Tribal Nations to provide input and comment on the new formula for determining O&M needs for budget requests in future years.

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.
