Purposes and Authority of the DDT in the Disaster Process

Guam shall issue an RFP and execute a contract for services of DDT to be activated after the declaration of a Federal disaster on Guam. The DDT, which shall be selected, organized, paid for and supervised by Guam, will perform the following duties. When a Disaster occurs, a DAT composed of Guam officials of the GRO appointed by I Maga’hågan/Maga’låhen Guåhan, and Federal officials from all relevant agencies, will conduct a damage survey of Guam to examine and inspect the damage resulting from the Disaster. During the same period, the highest official of each Guam agency will cause a report to the DAT of the extent and nature of the damage to property under the control or ownership of the agency. All Guam personnel involved in recovery efforts of any kind, and particularly personnel of the GRO, shall at all times fully and completely cooperate with DDT, and shall provide to DDT all forms, documents, applications, photographs, statements, narratives and information derived from contacts with FEMA and other Federal officials, as may be requested by DDT. Guam personnel working in disaster relief in any capacity shall be informed of the nature and purpose of the DDT, and the vital need for DDT’s work, so that Guam can draw down as soon as possible on the LOC. After completion of the DAT or any phase of the DAT, Guam personnel shall provide all information and documentation described in this Section to DDT so that all information, applications or other documents to be provided through the GRO to FEMA to support and substantiate the requested assistance, will be in full compliance with FEMA laws, rules and regulations, and custom and practice. After DDT has completed any phase of its work, the documentation and related information shall be provided to the GRO for submission to FEMA. DDT shall implement a review process so that Guam, each of its agencies and the GRO have an opportunity to review the proposed DDT final set of documentation to FEMA to assure that the submission is accurate and complete. DDT shall then recommend to the lender the amount of FEMA money reasonably expected to be obtained as a result of the disaster, or any phase of the disaster that has been assessed and submitted to FEMA. Lender COL08222024 CH. 65A THE DISASTER RECOVERY RELIEF ACT OF 2002 shall immediately process for drawdown on the LOC credit facility funds in the gross amount of the sum recommended by DDT for approval, subject to the provisions of § 65A107 of this Chapter. The funds shall be transferred to the LDEA for distribution in check form in the amounts allocated to Guam, an agency of Guam, a service provider or a vendor or supplier. Draw down on the LOC shall require DDT to be in place.
