Environmental & Historic Preservation Resources

FEMA funded projects must undergo Environmental and Historic Preservation (EHP) review to ensure we protect and preserve our natural and historic resources.

These tools help explain the federal environmental and historic resource laws and Executive Orders. They provide guidance specific to Region 3 states for the EHP compliance portion of the grant application process.

A más de un mes después de que Helene tocara tierra, los funcionarios de FEMA siguen presentes coordinando con los funcionarios locales de los estados afectados para ayudar a guiar su recuperación.

Desde que el huracán Helene tocó tierra, la Agencia Federal para el Manejo de Emergencias (FEMA, por sus siglas en inglés) ha estado trabajando con organizaciones gubernamentales y voluntarias que apoyan a las personas con discapacidades para garantizar que los sobrevivientes con discapacidades tengan las herramientas que necesitan para recuperarse de la tormenta. Haber establecido relaciones con estas organizaciones antes del desastre ha sido crucial para que los sobrevivientes reciban ayuda lo antes posible. Los asesores de FEMA de integración de las personas con discapacidades continúan su labor de defensa de las personas con discapacidades y de ponerlas en contacto con recursos disponibles que les ayuden a acelerar su recuperación.
