<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:1.5in">3. On March 1, 2010 I
personally sent a message to the OK Department of Education about the applicant
briefings that were scheduled that week. Unfortunately, it appears that
DOE did not forward our e-mail to the school districts until about March 17,
2010 – this is per at least three separate school officials; and, we just
found about this late Friday afternoon, 19 Mar 10. Therefore, please take
some time to notify respective EMs that they need to contact school officials
in their jurisdictions to submit an RPA is needed by the above deadlines for
both disasters. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:1.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:1.5in">4. In accordance with our
ongoing coordination we have received many of the RPAs for the original
counties for both declarations as well as from the add-on counties for both
declarations. In order to assist local leaders it is in the best interest
to get all of the outstanding RPAs to the Joint Field Office as soon as
possible. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:1.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:1.5in">5. If a jurisdiction in a
declared county – to include the county – does not want to participate
in the FEMA Public Assistance reimbursement program, we will need a signed copy
of a Letter of Declination from that jurisdiction. Area Coordinators are
requested to assist with this process, to include batching the letters of
declination by county and jurisdiction and then providing those letters to the
State PA Section at the JFO. <o:p></o:p></p>
