Background Information: (Continued)
In the course of the 2008 Hurricane Season, Tropical Storm Fay produced disastrous conditions which
had a devastating impact upon the State of Florida. Said conditions resulted in the Declaration of
State of Emergency by the Florida Governor.
The President of the United States concurred and declared a state of emergency ( FEMA-3288-EM-
FL) for the counties of Brevard, Broward, Charlotte, Collier, Desoto, Glades, Gulf, Hardee, Hendry,
Highlands, Indian River, Lee, Martin, Miami -Dade, Monroe, Okeechobee, Orange, Osceola, Palm
Beach, Polk, St. Lucie, and Volusia. As a result, the Federal Emergency Management Agency
("FEMA") has made funds available for disaster relief activities in said Counties pursuant to FEMA-
3288-EM-FL.
The City Manager recommends adoption of this Resolution which will facilitate the City of Miami to
accept grant funds from FEMA, through the State of Florida, as reimbursement for eligible costs
incurred by the City of Miami for disaster relief activities.
