Federally recognized tribes with burned land because of a declared FMAG may apply to FEMA as HMGP Post Fire applicants. The tribe must notify FEMA of its intent to apply within 60 calendar days of the state’s assistance notification. If FEMA approves assistance for both the state/territory and the tribe, it will apportion the amount of assistance between the state or territory and the tribal government. The apportionment will be calculated based on the amount of each recipient’s burned acreage as a percentage of the allotment to which they are entitled under the calculation described above. FEMA regional administrators will have final authority on apportionment determinations.
