A Call log is a list of calls a department was requested to respond to during an incident. They are typically found with the fire and police departments. Having a call log assists FEMA in differentiating between regular calls and event-related calls.

Applicants who submit insufficient call logs is one of the common mistakes jeopardizing grant funding for Emergency Protective Measures activities.

Applicants often use call logs to document and track activities and link them to the event for reimbursement of Emergency Protective Measures.

Call logs that lack description of actions or do not link actions to the event are considered insufficient. To adequately document the activities coordinated during phone calls, Applicants must ensure that call logs provide a detailed description of activities and connect the activities to the event.
