Emergency Watershed Protection Program (EWPP)

Hope you join us as Trey Uekman and Stephen Smalley share information about the Emergency Watershed Protection Program (EWPP).

The Emergency Watershed Protection Program (EWPP), a federal emergency recovery program, helps local communities recover after a natural disaster strikes. The EWP Program offers technical and financial assistance to help local communities relieve imminent threats to life and property caused by floods, fires, windstorms and other natural disasters that impair a watershed. EWP does not require a disaster declaration by federal or state government officials for program assistance to begin. There will be a live Q&A session at the end.
