Emergency Grants
There are a variety of grants and other assistance that can help local response agencies and communities better avoid, prepare, plan for, and equip themselves to deal with the variety of emergencies they will face. Since many grants involve applications for federal funds and many local officials are volunteers who may be unfamiliar with the administrative requirements of such grants, TRORC staff are available to help communities apply for and administer grants.

NEW SAM.gov requirement for a notarized letter to renew.
SAM.gov is the registration process that allows towns to receive federal money. It uses the towns DUNS number (similar to business social security number). Beginning on April 27, 2018, entities renewing or updating their registration will be required to submit an original, signed, notarized letter confirming the authorized Entity Administrator associated with the DUNS number before the registration is activated. The template is below and must be printed on town letterhead.
The letter is a 4-page document. The first page contains the instructions. The following three pages are the letter template and the notary signatory page. Download Link: https://sam.gov/sam/transcript/fsd/notarized_templates/SAM_Entity_Administrator_Letter_Template1_Single_Entity.docx
