Add Applicant Contacts
Applicant contact may receive email notifications from Tempest-GEMS or state leaders about grant programs. It is strongly suggested that each applicant have at least one contact name and email address.
Grant Type
You may segregate your contact list based on the grant type:
- FEMA PA
- FEMA HMGP
- HUD CDBG-DR
- etc
If grant type is not selected, no big deal. That contact will likely get any emails from the state.
Contact Role
There are three roles. These roles are defined by federal agencies. These roles are:
- Authorized Representative
- Alternate Representative
- Other
It is strongly recommended that the Authorized representative be entered along with the email address.
