Common use of FEMA Clause in Contracts

FEMA. The FEMA records reside in two systems, the first of which is the Individual Assistance (IA) System (formerly known as the National Emergency Management Information System-Individual Assistance [NEMIS-IA]). FEMA shares information, pursuant to this CMA, included in records covered by FEMA-008 Disaster Recovery Assistance Files System of Records, 87 Fed. Reg. 7,852 (February 10, 2022). Routine Uses I.1 and I.2 authorize FEMA to share information with other federal agencies and state, tribal, and territorial agency programs for reasons that include making available disaster assistance to individuals and households and for the purpose of preventing duplicate benefits. Routine Use S authorizes FEMA to share information with other federal agencies for the purpose of conducting computer matching activities. The second FEMA system is for National Flood Insurance policyholder records residing in the PIVOT (not an acronym) system, which is described in the FEMA-003 National Flood Insurance Program Files System of Records Notice, 79 Fed. Reg. 28,747 (May 19, 2014). With this CMA, FEMA shares NFIP records under two routine uses. Routine Use I authorizes data sharing with federal, state, local, and tribal government agencies, insurance companies, and established voluntary organizations in order to determine eligibility for benefits, verify non-duplication of benefits following a flooding event or another disaster, and provide needs unmet by NFIP claims payouts within their jurisdictions and service areas. Routine Use L provides for data sharing with state, local, and tribal government agencies to ascertain the degree of financial burdens they expect to assume in the event of a flooding disaster within their jurisdiction.
