CURRENT STATUS REPORT

IS THERE A NEED FOR FEDERAL ASSISTANCE?

In order for federal assistance to be considered, Minnesota must show:

• The situation is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the state and local governments; and

• Federal assistance is necessary to supplement the efforts and available resources of the state.

State per capita damage indicator: $7,372,455.75

County per capita damage indicator: Population x $3.50

HOW IS THIS DETERMINED?

The state measures severity and magnitude by evaluating:• Damages caused by the disaster, AND• Impacts associated with those damages.

Examples of disaster related impact include;• Level of insurance coverage,• Recent multiple disasters,• Concentration of damages,• Trauma,• Utility disruption,• Disruption to transportation, school bus routes, mail

routes, significant detours,• Availability of supplemental housing, etc.
