Similar to the Completed/Fully Documented Lane, the Program Delivery Manager submits a request for Essential Elements of Information through Grants Portal for the Applicant to fulfill. Essential Elements of Information is the required documents to support your grant.

• The answers the Program Delivery Manager received from the Applicant while asking questions from the Essential Elements of Information questionnaire during the Recovery Scoping Meeting produce documentation requirements in Grants Portal
• The Program Delivery Manager submits these requirements and Grants Portal notifies the Applicant that they must fulfill the request
• The Program Delivery Manager submits the request for Essential Elements of Information prior to the site inspection so the Applicant can upload the required documentation while the Applicant's representative and the FEMA Site Inspector collect information to develop the Damage Description and Dimensions

For more information on Essential Elements of Information, please refer to the courses: IS-1003 Exploratory Call, Damage Inventory, and Recovery Scoping Meeting, or IS-1002 FEMA Grants Portal - Transparency at Every Step.
