(1) Whenever the governor has
declared a major disaster to exist in this state, he or she is authorized, upon making
a determination that financial assistance is essential to meet disaster-related
necessary expenses or serious needs of individuals or families adversely affected
by a major disaster which cannot be otherwise adequately met from other means of
assistance, to accept a grant from the federal government to fund such financial
assistance, subject to such terms and conditions as may be imposed upon the grant.

(2) Notwithstanding any other law or rule, the governor is authorized to make
financial grants to meet disaster-related necessary expenses or serious needs of
individuals or families adversely affected by a major disaster which cannot
otherwise adequately be met from other means of assistance.

(3) The office of emergency management created in 24-33.5-705 shall
coordinate with the governor's office, federal agencies, other state agencies, local
governments, and philanthropic entities as determined by the office to ensure
disaster individual assistance is delivered in a coordinated effort and to avoid
duplication of benefits.

(4) The office of emergency management may, in collaboration with the
department of local affairs created in section 24-1-125 and the Colorado energy
office created in section 24-38.5-101, implement and maintain a disaster survivor
portal for disaster survivors to apply for approved state disaster individual
assistance. The portal may provide disaster survivors with a coordinated method to
access appropriate benefits, including federal benefit programs, approved state
disaster individual assistance benefits, the disaster resilience rebuilding program
created in 24-32-134, and the sustainable rebuilding program created in 24-38.5-115. The portal may ensure equitable access to program information including
communications in the relevant languages of the community and equitable hearing,
sight, and physical accessibility. Local governments and philanthropic entities may
operate their own disaster survivor portals in coordination with the office of
emergency management.
