NRECA Suggests FEMA Improvements
The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) responded to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) request for information related to natural disaster recovery with comments focused on fixing policies and regulations that create financial hardships for electric cooperatives and the communities they serve. Slow disbursement of emergency funds and the inability to provide nonprofits with direct access to certain disaster funds were amongst the NRECA’s concerns.
