The COVID-19 national emergency declaration and the $2 trillion stimulus package including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act made available a multitude of overlapping funding sources to address costs associated with the ongoing response to COVID-19 by eligible entities (including state and local government, healthcare facilities, and private non-profits).

Recent disasters across the United States have demonstrated the need for individuals, families, organizations and businesses to have a disaster response plan. Mark Misczak, Tidal Basin’s Chief Operations Officer and former FEMA Deputy Director for Individual Assistance, says when preparing for any disaster, there are some recommended items to have on hand.

Tidal Basin Group’s Chief Development Officer (CDO) Carlos J. Castillo, CEM shares how the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) Program provides assistance for the preparedness, response and mitigation of wildfires.

We are pleased to welcome Esrone McDaniels, a recognized leader in housing and infrastructure development programs, to serve as our new Vice President and Director of Tidal Basin Caribe operations.

Initial doses of the vaccine for COVID-19 may be available as early as late October, on a limited basis, with availability increasing in November and December. In anticipation of states receiving the vaccine, there is a necessity — as well as a CDC requirement — for a plan to be developed. The CDC is requiring states to provide their plan no later than November 1, 2020.

Carlos J. Castillo, CEM, Chief Development Officer of Tidal Basin and former FEMA Acting Deputy Administrator of Resilience, will be participating in the FAIR Foundation’s “Building a Culture of Preparedness” 2020 Virtual Conference Series.
