The Deputy Finance Director (Finance Officer) has developed procedures to expedite the <br />purchase of expendable supplies during emergency situations. <br />F. The Finance Officer trains Finance Department personnel assigned to the EOC to perform <br />emergency tasks. <br />G.

These costs <br />include equipment and supplies, equipment operating costs, personnel overtime costs, and all <br />contracted goods, labor, and services. <br />H. The Finance Officer accounts for all funds spent and prepares daily summaries of the <br />resources provided for emergency operations. The summaries are used to prepare any Public <br />Assistance (PA) requests to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) following the <br />conclusion of the emergency. <br />I.
