Errors to avoid in the application
The NFPA review process is detail-oriented, and small mistakes are enough to have your application rejected—it then requires an additional application step after correction. Here are a few sources of small errors:
- In the portal community description (which appears to the applicants separate from the application since it is embedded in the NFPA website itself), the number of households needs to match exactly that given in application’s community description and in the risk assessment
- the 3-year plan has a header that needs to get filled to reflect the name and date of the application
- the expense and metrics tracking is good for a calendar year only (not for the last 12 months), so, when you have already captured a lot of data, it becomes important to file before the end of the calendar year.
