His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Keep all receipts related to home repair\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>File a claim for the damage through your insurance company. Your insurance claim needs to be settled first because FEMA can’t duplicate assistance coming from other sources\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If you’ve experienced losses that aren’t covered by your insurance, whether it be completely or partially, \u003ca href=\"https://www.disasterassistance.gov/\">apply for assistance though FEMA online\u003c/a>.

So it should save some time,” Mansell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can expect the inspector to ask you a series of identification questions and request that you describe the damage in detail over the phone. They may also ask for additional photos of the damage. If there’s still more information needed after the call, FEMA may send an inspector to look at the property in person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your home has suffered minimal enough damage that you can still live in it, FEMA may or may not request a remote inspection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remote inspections aren’t required for other types of FEMA grants that cover child care, transportation, medical, dental, funeral expenses, moving and storage assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.fema.gov/fact-sheet/individual-and-households-program-remote-inspections\">Here is more information\u003c/a> from FEMA about the remote inspection process.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Need Additional Help?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you have any questions, contact the FEMA helpline at (800) 621-3362 (TTY 800-462-7585).

Keep all receipts related to home repair\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>File a claim for the damage through your insurance company. Your insurance claim needs to be settled first because FEMA can’t duplicate assistance coming from other sources\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If you’ve experienced losses that aren’t covered by your insurance, whether it be completely or partially, \u003ca href=\"https://www.disasterassistance.gov/\">apply for assistance though FEMA online\u003c/a>. You can also \u003ca href=\"https://www.fema.gov/about/news-multimedia/app\">download the FEMA app\u003c/a> available for iOS and Android, or call (800) 621-3362 (TTY 800-462-7585)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Be prepared to provide FEMA with the following information: your social security number, insurance policy information, address of the damaged primary dwelling, a description of damage and losses, current mailing address and phone number, total household annual income and the routing and account numbers of your bank account\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>You may be contacted to undergo a remote inspection process — more on that below\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Make an online account with FEMA to check the status of your application, view messages and update your personal information, if needed. You should also upload important documents online, or mail them to FEMA at P.O. Box 10055, Hyattsville, Maryland, 20782 or fax them to (800) 827-8112\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Remote Inspection Process\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Due to the pandemic, FEMA has been conducting disaster-related home inspections over the phone since mid-March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The agency argues that federal law, regulations and policy restrict payments only to work needed to fix damage stemming from a declared disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal emergency officials argued that while the nearly total disintegration of the lower half of the chute can be attributed to events in February 2017 -- events covered by a presidential disaster declaration -- that's not the case for the upper part of the spillway, which suffered no visible damage during the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FEMA's memo noted that an independent forensic team \u003ca href=\"https://damsafety.org/sites/default/files/files/Independent%20Forensic%20Team%20Report%20Final%2001-05-18.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">found\u003c/a> last year that poor design, construction and maintenance of the spillway made its failure \"inevitable.\" The agency said those long-term factors explain damage to the upper spillway -- and make that part of the structure ineligible for disaster funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FEMA can pay 75 percent or more of qualifying expenses for disaster recovery efforts, and has reimbursed the state for $333.4 million of its costs to date — including $128.4 million granted last year for the initial emergency response to the disaster and $205 million announced recently to pay for replacing the lower portion of the spillway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"FEMA does not dispute that DWR’s decision to replace the upper chute was reasonable and prudent, the memo said. “It is FEMA’s position, however, that the reasons for doing so are unrelated to the disaster.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Water Resources, which had submitted $113.2 million in costs for the upper spillway reconstruction, said Tuesday it will appeal the FEMA's decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"FEMA’s determination memo points to technicalities and the need for additional information to support why something is eligible,\" said DWR spokeswoman Erin Mellon in an email. \"As we’ve said before, DWR believes all reconstruction work is eligible for reimbursement and we’ll be providing additional information to FEMA during the appeals process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal agency also rejected a request for $193 million in costs related to work on the emergency spillway -- an unlined hillside covered with brush and trees adjacent to the main spillway. It was the rapid erosion of that slope -- and the potential threat to a quarter-mile-long concrete weir adjoining the main spillway -- that raised fears of a catastrophic release of water from Lake Oroville and prompted orders for communities downstream to evacuate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of the crisis -- the first time the emergency spillway hillside had been used in Oroville Dam's 49-year history -- the upper portion of the emergency spillway hillside was reinforced with a variety of structures. Those include a \"cutoff wall\" made of massive concrete piles that reach as deep as 65 feet below ground level, as well as a buttress and splash pad designed to protect the emergency spillway and dissipate the energy of any future overflows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its memo, FEMA said the work is not eligible for reimbursement because the original hillside was not maintained and because the recent improvements to the emergency spillway are actually new, permanent structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated to add Department of Water Resources' response to FEMA's memo.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The agency argues that federal law, regulations and policy restrict payments only to work needed to fix damage stemming from a declared disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal emergency officials argued that while the nearly total disintegration of the lower half of the chute can be attributed to events in February 2017 -- events covered by a presidential disaster declaration -- that's not the case for the upper part of the spillway, which suffered no visible damage during the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FEMA's memo noted that an independent forensic team \u003ca href=\"https://damsafety.org/sites/default/files/files/Independent%20Forensic%20Team%20Report%20Final%2001-05-18.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">found\u003c/a> last year that poor design, construction and maintenance of the spillway made its failure \"inevitable.\" The agency said those long-term factors explain damage to the upper spillway -- and make that part of the structure ineligible for disaster funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FEMA can pay 75 percent or more of qualifying expenses for disaster recovery efforts, and has reimbursed the state for $333.4 million of its costs to date — including $128.4 million granted last year for the initial emergency response to the disaster and $205 million announced recently to pay for replacing the lower portion of the spillway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"FEMA does not dispute that DWR’s decision to replace the upper chute was reasonable and prudent, the memo said. “It is FEMA’s position, however, that the reasons for doing so are unrelated to the disaster.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Water Resources, which had submitted $113.2 million in costs for the upper spillway reconstruction, said Tuesday it will appeal the FEMA's decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"FEMA’s determination memo points to technicalities and the need for additional information to support why something is eligible,\" said DWR spokeswoman Erin Mellon in an email. \"As we’ve said before, DWR believes all reconstruction work is eligible for reimbursement and we’ll be providing additional information to FEMA during the appeals process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal agency also rejected a request for $193 million in costs related to work on the emergency spillway -- an unlined hillside covered with brush and trees adjacent to the main spillway. It was the rapid erosion of that slope -- and the potential threat to a quarter-mile-long concrete weir adjoining the main spillway -- that raised fears of a catastrophic release of water from Lake Oroville and prompted orders for communities downstream to evacuate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of the crisis -- the first time the emergency spillway hillside had been used in Oroville Dam's 49-year history -- the upper portion of the emergency spillway hillside was reinforced with a variety of structures. Those include a \"cutoff wall\" made of massive concrete piles that reach as deep as 65 feet below ground level, as well as a buttress and splash pad designed to protect the emergency spillway and dissipate the energy of any future overflows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its memo, FEMA said the work is not eligible for reimbursement because the original hillside was not maintained and because the recent improvements to the emergency spillway are actually new, permanent structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated to add Department of Water Resources' response to FEMA's memo.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
