document used at this session. CAPE reviewers should review
this guide carefully before attending the training. In
addition, Mr. Matulik and Mr. Maywalt will perform CAPEs early
in October in two Colorado communities. The work products of
these CAPES (letters, forms, reports, etc.) will be used as
samples along with the guide during the training. After the
training session, access will be provided to FEMA's docket files
for all selected communities, to assist in CAPE preparation.
Second, Mr. Maywalt will accompany State representatives on
their first CAPE visits for additional training on-site.

WORK PRODUCTS

CAPE performance involves the preparation of several work
products. During the course of the CAPE (see schedule below),
each of the following needs to be prepared and provided to FEMA:

1. Meeting confirmation letters (samples in CAPE Reviewer's
Guide).

2. A completed CAPE Reviewer's Form (see blank form
attached to CAPE Reviewer's Guide).

3. Final Report to FEMA (samples will be available at
training).

4. Follow-up correspondence (samples will be available at
training).

5. Any other documentation that can assist FEMA Regional
and Central Office staff in better understanding the
results of the CAPE.

These documents should be compiled and sent to the Regional
Office upon completion of the Final Report. They will be
reviewed by the CAPE Coordinator and then forwarded to FEMA's
Central Office.

SCHEDULE

When arranging the CAPE-related meetings with the local contact
within the community, allow at least two weeks notice and
preferably four weeks or more. For the initial CAPEs, which
will be performed jointly with the CAPE coordinator, discuss the
meeting arrangements with the Coordinator before contacting
local representatives. For subsequent meetings, inform the CAPE
Coordinator of meeting dates after they are set. Schedule the
CAPE by calling the local contact and document the meeting with
the confirmation letter. Send a copy of the confirming letter
to the Chief Executive Officer and retain one copy to be
included in the work product package submitted to FEMA. Allow
