Aidmatrix now counts 12 of the United States as part of the FEMA National Donations Management Network; meaning one quarter of the nation can feel confident their state government has taken concrete steps toward disaster preparedness. California, a state considered among those most frequently plagued by natural tragedy, signed on this week. The Golden State is in good company with Alabama, Arizona, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia. After agreeing to the system, state personnel, nonprofit leaders and others involved in disaster relief efforts go through program training. At the same time California was joining the Network, Aidmatrix was conducting training in Mississippi and Louisiana. Currently presentations are being held around the country and 10 other states have progressed to final determination stages regarding the donations system.
