City of Ames....Someplace Special!

In the City of Ames, we are defined less by boundaries on a map than by the sense of shared values our residents hold dear. Small town values, guided growth, preservation of historical, cultural, and natural heritage are just a few of the core principles that makes City of Ames a wonderful place to call home.

Below are the next steps in the FEMA Public Assistance (PA) recovery process for the February Winter Storm (DR-4586):

[1]  Applicant Briefing

Attend a DR-4586 Applicant Briefing.

• Applicant Briefings occur at 9 AM each weekday until further notice.
• Click here or visit the following link to register for a briefing:  https://tdem-texas-gov.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIsde2grTwqGdfr11XjGYx1zAW_1V5wzmde. 
• Please note, you only need to attend one of the Applicant Briefings.

[2]  Request for Public Assistance (RPA)

Submit a RPA for your organization.  The deadline to submit a RPA is currently March 21, 2021.

• Step 1: Log in to FEMA Grants Portal (https://grantee.fema.gov/).
• Step 2: select “Click here to submit an RPA for your organization” on the Dashboard.
• Step 3: Select DR-4586 and complete each section by following the prompts.

[3]  pSTAT – Damage Assessments

Currently DR-4586 is only a category B – Emergency Protective Measures declaration but in an effort to have a full disaster declaration please have each Sub Recipient complete a damage assessment for each location that sustained damage as a result of the storm using TDEM’s damage assessment tool pSTAT (Public Assistance State of Texas Assessment Tool). This damage assessment information is a critical action needed to provide to FEMA to declare other categories of work and should be completed within the next 2 weeks.

• pSTAT Training - There is a recurring training meeting every weekday at 2:30 PM until further notice.  Join the Zoom meeting at https://tdem-texas-gov.zoom.us/j/88023916871.
• pSTAT – To access the tool itself, click here:  https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/9960a862346147ae918ba7a62dbfd50a.  Or, use the following QR code:
