Responding to demand from state, local and tribal leaders who are working to increase the safety and security of their communities, the nearly $1 billion competition will invite communities that have experienced natural disasters to compete for funds to help them rebuild and increase their resilience to future disasters… The competition will support innovative resilience projects at the local level while encouraging communities to adopt policy changes and activities that plan for the impacts of extreme weather and climate change and rebuild affected areas to be better prepared for the future. Of the nearly $1 billion available through the Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds from the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, about $820 million will be available to all states and local governments that experienced a Presidentially-declared major disaster in 2011, 2012, and 2013… THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT HUD National Disaster Resilience Competition Deadlines • You may submit your Most impacted and Distressed and Unmet Recovery Needs threshold responses until Monday, November 3, 2014 • Full Phase 1 applications due March 15, 2015 via grants.gov THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT HUD National Disaster Resilience Competition http://floridajobs.org/ndrc • • • • links criteria white-paper documents from meetings notifications THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT II.

Link: http://www.HUDUSER.org/CDB GRDR/AppendixB THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 1. Most Impacted Characteristics considers the damage resulting from the Qualified Disaster (a) Housing. A concentration of housing damage in a subcounty area due to the eligible disaster causing damage to either a minimum of 100 homes or serious damage to a minimum of 20 homes. Appendix C provides a list of disasters with concentrations of housing damage meeting this requirement. Applicants may also submit local data, provided a) the data show concentrated damage meeting this standard, and b) HUD agrees with the validity of the data (see http://www.HUDUSER.org/CDBGRDR/AppendixC that shows 741 Census Tracts and 257 Places that meet this standard outside of the already determined most impacted counties.) THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 1(a) - Housing Areas Source: data was provided by HUD, originally from FEMA Link: http://www.HUDUSER.org/CDB GRDR/AppendixC THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 1. Most Impacted Characteristics considers the damage resulting from the Qualified Disaster (b) Infrastructure. Damage to permanent infrastructure (i.e. FEMA Category C to G) in a sub-county area estimated at $2 million or greater. Applicants must provide either an engineering report with an estimated repair amount along with a sources and uses statement for the project showing the funding shortfall (total repair costs can include the extra cost to repair this infrastructure resiliently) or other evidence of an estimate of expenditures to make repairs that support this claim. THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 1(b) - Infrastructure Source: Public Assistance data provided by FEMA Green areas represent Census Tracts or Populated Place were projects total $2 million or greater. THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 1. Most Impacted Characteristics considers the damage resulting from the Qualified Disaster (c) Economic Revitalization. A disaster in a sub-county area causing significant employment loss and extended harm to the local economy. Applicants must briefly demonstrate employment loss (a one percentage point or greater higher local unemployment rate in the impacted area six to 12 months after a disaster compared to the same month in the year prior to the disaster in that area; or specific information that 50 or more people were no longer employed in or near the most impacted area for six months or longer due to the disaster) or other harm to the economy and describe how it stems from the Qualified Disaster (applicant may support a short description with local data or surveys). THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 1(c) - Economic Revitalization • According to data from FDEO, no areas meet requirements THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 1. Most Impacted Characteristics considers the damage resulting from the Qualified Disaster (d) Environmental Degradation that threatens long-term recovery of critical natural resources and places housing, infrastructure, and/or economic revitalization at risk. A disaster resulting in significant degradation to the environment putting the housing, infrastructure, and/or economic drivers in the area and nearby areas in great harm for a future disaster. Examples include a fire destabilizing a watershed creating flood risk downstream or threatening economic revitalization by harming recreational activities that support to local economies; damage to stream beds from a severe flooding event damaging a containment dike or dam increasing risk of more flood damage to property; damage to wetlands or barrier islands from a Hurricane reducing protection from future Hurricanes or harming local economies such as fishing and eco-tourism. Applicants must describe the damage and support with references to any studies supporting the claim of future risk.

THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT Census Tracts and Populated Places by County that meet one or more Most Impacted Characteristics and one or more Distressed Characteristics THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 3. To meet the Unmet Recovery Need threshold requirement, the applicant must submit a…narrative that demonstrates, with the criteria described in A or B below, that the applicant has Unmet Recovery Needs in the area(s) identified as “most impacted and distressed” that have not been addressed by other sources. 1) Housing. Are households still displaced from housing due to the disaster or are there housing units in or near the impacted area that were damaged by the disaster and have not yet been repaired? If no, you do not have Unmet Recovery Needs for this subfactor. If yes: a) Recent emergency management data indicating households are still displaced from the disaster. This might include information from FEMA on number of households still receiving emergency rental assistance or living in a FEMA Transitional b) A methodologically sound “windshield” survey of the impacted area conducted since January 2014. A list of addresses needs to be provided to HUD of units identified with remaining damage. A survey of 9 of these addresses confirming (i) the damage is due to the disaster and (ii) they have inadequate resources from insurance/FEMA/SBA for completing their repairs. Statistical accuracy is not required, so this can be a purposive sample of easy to contact residents. THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 1) Housing b) Are there any households....that were damaged by the disaster and have not yet been repaired? A methodologically sound “windshield” survey of the impacted area....a list of addresses needs to be provided to HUD of units identified with remaining damage... THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 3. To meet the Unmet Recovery Need threshold requirement, the applicant must submit a…narrative that demonstrates, with the criteria described in A or B below, that the applicant has Unmet Recovery Needs in the area(s) identified as “most impacted and distressed” that have not been addressed by other sources. 2) Infrastructure - Is there damage to permanent public infrastructure (i.e. FEMA Category C to G) that has not yet been repaired due to inadequate resources in or serving the most impacted target area? Describe the project(s), the location of the project(s) relative to the most impacted and distressed target area, the amount of funding required to complete the project(s), and reason there are inadequate funds. There must be a minimum of $400,000 in unfunded permanent infrastructure repair needs to meet this requirement, this “unfunded” amount can include the local match requirement for FEMA Public Assistance or Department of Transportation permanent infrastructure projects. If you include the amount of cost share for a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project, note that no more than $250,000 of CDBG-DR or CDBG-NDR may be used for such a cost share (per project). This is not waivable. THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 3. To meet the Unmet Recovery Need threshold requirement, the applicant must submit a…narrative that demonstrates, with the criteria described in A or B below, that the applicant has Unmet Recovery Needs in the area(s) identified as “most impacted and distressed” that have not been addressed by other sources. 3) Economic Revitalization - Are there continuing unmet economic revitalization recovery needs due to the disaster in or near the most impacted target area? Describe the extent of those needs and how the needs are connected with the disaster and the most impacted target area. Any one of the following, together with a narrative statement describing how the need results from the impacts of the disaster, would satisfy this requirement: (i) a minimum of 5 businesses with remaining repair needs; (ii) business revenues continued to be depressed by 10 percent or more relative to revenues prior to the disaster for one or more modest sized employers (10 or more employees) due to the disaster OR three or more smaller businesses show revenues 10 percent less than prior revenues. a) Unmet repair needs for businesses: “Windshield” survey showing a minimum of 5 businesses with remaining repair needs AND a survey of 5 business owners confirming damage due to the disaster and repairs not completed due to not receiving adequate resources from insurance and (if applicable) other federal funds including CDBG, CDBG-DR, and/or SBA funds. Addresses of businesses with continuing needs must be. b) Decreased revenues for business(es): Analysis by a reputable public or private source showing continuing economic damage to the target area due to the disaster or a survey of business(es) who provide (i) number of employees before storm and current; (ii) total gross revenues in year before disaster and total gross revenues in most recent year; and (iii) a description of how the reduction in revenues is related to the disaster. To meet this criteria – one modest size employer (10 or more employees) or three smaller businesses (fewer than 10 employees) must show most recent year total gross revenues of 10 percent less than the year before the disaster and there needs to be a clear connection to the disaster. Names and addresses of impacted businesses must be provided. THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 3. To meet the Unmet Recovery Need threshold requirement, the applicant must submit a…narrative that demonstrates, with the criteria described in A or B below, that the applicant has Unmet Recovery Needs in the area(s) identified as “most impacted and distressed” that have not been addressed by other sources. 4. Environmental Degradation that threatens long-term recovery of critical natural resources and places housing, infrastructure, and/or economic revitalization at risk. Is there environmental damage from the disaster that has not yet been addressed and cannot be addressed with existing resources? Describe the remaining damage and how the damage is connected with the disaster and the most impacted target area. Applicants must describe the remaining damage with a cost estimate for making repairs that is $400,000 or greater and support with references to any studies supporting the claim.
