Role of the FEMA Site Inspector

Site Inspectors use the data collected from their inspections (e.g., photographs, site sketches/drawings, measurements) to develop the Damage Description and Dimensions.

During the site inspection, the Site Inspector will document:

  • Dimensions of the facility
  • Dimensions of the work that has been completed, including materials, and dimensions of the work that has yet to be completed

FEMA and the Applicant will then work together to reach an agreement on the Damage Description and Dimensions (as well as Emergency Protective Measures and debris impacts). After the FEMA Program Delivery Manager reviews the Damage Description and Dimensions, they will release it to the Applicant for review and approval in Grants Portal.
