State/Federal Assistance Available To Eligible Private Non-Profit Organizations
HONOLULU, Hawaii — Through the Public Assistance Program, FEMA provides supplemental Federal disaster grant assistance for debris removal, emergency protective measures, and the repair, replacement, or restoration of disaster-damaged, publicly owned facilities and the facilities of certain Private Non-Profit (PNP) organizations. This program also encourages protection of these damaged facilities from future events by providing assistance for hazard mitigation measures during the recovery process.

Insulated Concrete Forms, Other Measures, Make Home Disaster Resistant
Windsor, Colorado — It was only a coincidence that the Windsor, Colo., tornado struck the same day - May 22, 2008 - that ground was broken on a local custom home builder’s entry in the local Parade of Homes. In their fourth year of building a parade home to benefit children’s charities, builder Doug Collins and his team had decided months earlier to use insulated concrete forms. That, in conjunction with many other hazard mitigation measures, will result in a structure that should stand up well in future tornadoes and other disasters.

Disaster Aid Registration Deadlines Approaching
DENVER, Co. — Officials with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Colorado Division of Emergency Management (CDEM) want to remind residents of Weld and Larimer counties that there is still time to register for disaster assistance. There are several programs available to help people recover from the severe storms and tornadoes on May 22, but time is running out.

Homeland Security Threat Level: YELLOW (ELEVATED) Significant National Weather Northeast A rapidly deepening area of low pressure off the middle Atlantic coast will track northward today through western New England. A winter storm warning is in effect until Wednesday morning for the western and southern Adirondacks, the Mohawk and Schoharie Valleys and the eastern Catskills.

A winter weather advisory is in effect for the Saint Lawrence Valley and for north central Vermont including the western slopes of the Green Mountains.
