Local emergencies: applications for state assistance.

The California Disaster Assistance Act provides for the allocation of funds to local agencies for certain purposes by the Director of Emergency Services after the proclamation of a local emergency or state of emergency, as specified. The act sets forth the process by which a local agency may apply for those allocations and, as part of this process, generally provides for completion of a state agency investigation and report to the director on the proposed work within 60 days from the date of the application. This bill would require the director to notify the local agency of all approved costs within 60 days from the date that investigation is completed.
