Central Oklahoma Wildfires

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has
approved a Fire Management Grant for the Oklahoma Wildfires
that occurred yesterday.

FMAG Disaster number 2808 was approved under the name
Oklahoma Midwest Choctaw Fire.

This will allow local officials to be re-imbursed for approved
expenses they incurred while responding to or fighting the
wildfires.

It is very important that accurate records be kept when responing to
emergency or disaster situations in case a Federal Disaster Declaration
in approved. By doing so, you are documenting your expenses, and may
qualify for re-imbursement. Without the documentation, you guarantee
that you will not receive re-imbursement.

For more information about disaster relief, contact the local chapter
at 482-5303 or www.swoarc.org or contact Altus Emergency Management
at 482-8336. You can also follow them on twitter at www.twitter.com/altusem
