Public assistance : applicant handbook /

When a disaster or emergency occurs, it is the responsibility first of the local community and the State or Tribe to respond. However, their combined efforts at times are not sufficient to effectively address the direct results of the most serious events. These situations call for Federal assistance. The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. section 5121-5207, authorizes the President to provide Federal assistance to supplement State, Tribal, and local efforts. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a component of the Department of Homeland Security, coordinates the delivery of assistance under the law and provides grants through the Public Assistance Program to help with the extraordinary costs for response and infrastructure recovery. This Handbook explains how applicants can obtain help through the Public Assistance Program. Potential recipients of this assistance include State, Tribal, and local governments and certain types of private nonprofit organizations."FEMA 323."Includes index."March 2010."Cover title.When a disaster or emergency occurs, it is the responsibility first of the local community and the State or Tribe to respond.

West Eugene wetlands plan : City of Eugene and Lane County

95 pp. Bookmarks supplied by UO. Includes maps and figures. Published May, 2004. Captured January 17, 2008.There were four major objectives of the West Eugene Wetlands Special Area Study: 1. To use the best information to help the community understand the choices available; 2. To find a balance between environmental protection and sound urban development which meets state and federal laws and regulations; 3. To provide opportunities for involvement of all interested segments of the community in Plan development; and 4. To turn a perceived "wetlands problem" into a "wetlands opportunity" for the community.... this Plan addresses wetlands and economic development as critical parts of a healthy, livable community. While the plan contains more detailed goals, policies, and recommended actions, the thrust of the Plan can be understood by reviewing the following highlights, the Wetland Designations Map (Map 3) and the Wetlands Conceptual Plan Map (Map 4). [From the Plan]"Publication of this planning document was funded by the City of Eugene. Forty percent of the funds for the preceding West Eugene Wetlands Special Area Study were provided by the Environmental Protection Agency through a water quality/wetlands planning grant.
