HANDBOOK FOR DISASTER ASSISTANCE
Public Assistance Process
STEP 2 - Public Assistance Coordinator/Applicant Kickoff Meeting
Once the RPA Forms are collected, they are entered into FEMA's computerized data files. At this point, copies of the RPAs are given to the Public Assistance Coordinators (PACs) who are assigned to specific counties within the designated disaster areas. The FEMA/state PACs will contact the applicant and set up a "Kickoff Meeting" and necessary subsequent meetings to review the entire Public Assistance process, and to determine damages and the type of Project Worksheets (small grant or large grant) that will be necessary.
