Subject: Irma Recovery

Hey Mike,

Hope you're still hanging in there. Wanted to flag some resources and events
that might prove helpful for your members as they recover from Irma.

  *   For those co-ops who will be applying for Federal Energy Management
Administration (FEMA) reimbursements, NRECA will hold a FEMA
webinar<http://newsletters.email.nreca.org/q/119zdP8cP1W9/wv> on October 5.
Prior to the webinar, co-op staff can check out NRECA's FEMA
toolkit<https://www.cooperative.com/interest-areas/disaster-recovery/FEMAGui
des/Pages/FEMA-Toolkit.aspx> on Cooperative.com.

  *   NRECA's Straight Talk news service has developed two handouts intended
for consumer-members who will be rebuilding and repairing their homes: "Tips
for Hiring Contractors" and  "Purchasing Appliances after the Storm." You
can find pdfs and the design files
here<https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0050pa647rwq5vl/AADL5h4LH5NEcB7_auqbijDOa?dl
=0>.

  *   And some advice from NRECA's energy efficiency team: as your members
look at replacing appliances, now is an excellent time to approach local
stores with ideas on how to make energy efficient appliances more affordable
for your members.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions or if there's
anything I can do to support your efforts.
