If your jurisdiction has responded on behalf of the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) under a response program, TDEM has recently implemented some changes to the process. The newest information is listed below.
Beginning March 1,2023, TDEM will only accept the 2023 reimbursement workbook. You will find a link to download the newest version below.
The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) began efforts to streamline and create efficiencies in the state mutual aid reimbursement program in the Spring of 2022. This included the creation of a new reimbursement workbook. Several entities have already been using it and it has been revised and improved.
Beginning March 1, 2023 the newest version will be required for all state mutual aid reimbursement submissions. Click the button below to download the newest version.
On April 1, 2023, TDEM will require any reimbursement requests related to state mutual aid missions be submitted into the TDEM Grant Management System (GMS). To prepare for this upcoming change, TDEM will be rolling out training in the next few weeks on how to apply, register an account and submit a request into the system. You can register for an account at grants.tdem.texas.gov. See videos below for information.
To assist our mutual aid partners with the process of submitting for reimbursement, TDEM is implementing training options via Zoom to go over all the changes and updates.
Weekly training will be offered every Thursday through March 9, 2023. You can register for the training here.
Monthly training will then be offered starting April 13, 2023. You can register for the training here.
For more assistance with completing and submitting the reimbursement workbook, please refer to our video tutorial playlist below.
In the coming weeks, TDEM will also be rolling out a complete reimbursement guide for all state mutual aid programs. You will find the guide here so please bookmark this page for future notices.
To assist our mutual aid partners with submitting their information, we have developed some tools to aid you.
