WHEREAS the Pre- Disaster Mitigation (PDM) grant program was authorized by section 203 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5133, as amended by section 102 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA), Public Law 106-390, 114 Stat. 1552, to assist States and communities to implement a sustained pre -disaster natural hazard mitigation program to reduce overall risk to the population and structures, while also reducing reliance on funding from actual disaster declarations. WHEREAS approximately $100 million was made available for the FY07 PDM competitive grant program in part provided from the National Pre -Disaster Mitigation Fund under Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, and the PDM program under Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, and that Oregon was successful in receiving a portion of that funding. WHEREAS, Deschutes County will be acting as the contact for interaction by the counties with the State of Oregon, Oregon Military Department, Office of Emergency Management (OEM), the agency responsible for distribution of reimbursement funds, and submitting all requests on behalf of both counties for reimbursement and there is, therefore, a need to memorialize the respective responsibilities of Deschutes County and Crook County with respect to the PDM grant program. WHEREAS, Deschutes County and Crook County mutually agree to the following. 2.0 PURPOSE Federal funding is provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland Security (FEMA) and is administered by OEM.

Deschutes County will within 30 days of receipt submit to OEM claims for reimbursement submitted to Deschutes County by Crook County and remit any such reimbursement funds to Crook County within 30 days upon receipt. Crook County shall be fully responsible for preparation and justification of claims for reimbursement submitted to OEM and FEMA. The Parties understand that the FEMA will contribute fifty nine percent (59%) of the eligible costs for any eligible project as provided for in subparagraph 4 of Section 5.0 of this Agreement, and that no state funds are obligated for contribution under this Agreement. The 59% FEMA share for this project is $667,873.60.
