FEMA releases AFG Get Ready Guide


AFG has released a series of helpful hints to get your department ready for this year's 2011 program.

If you haven't heard, there are a lot of changes to the application and some new requirements depending on the project your department or agency is prioritizing.

Some tried and true requirements include the DUNS and CCR number which should be familiar to most of you by now — but don't forget that CCR needs to be revalidated every year.

Take a look and start planning for your application today!
