NACo Guidance on Natural Disasters
News Date
In the wake of Hurricane Helene's devastation on Unicoi, Washington, Carter, Johnson, Greene, Cocke, and surrounding counties, we wanted to share an article from the National Association of Counties (NACo). This article, Counting the Costs of Post-Disaster Reimbursement, describes several major challenges counties may face when submitting disaster claims to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
CTAS has developed some additional accounting and budgeting guidance for county finance officials when handling disaster claims and FEMA.
Please contact your CTAS County Consultant should you have any questions.
