PUBLIC NOTICE

MAJOR DISASTER DECLARATION

FEMA-4445-DR-VT

ORLANDO, Fla. – Nearly two years after historic Hurricane Irma made landfall, carving a destructive path from the Keys to the Georgia state line, federal funding for response and infrastructure repair projects in Florida has topped $1 billion.

In total, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Public Assistance (PA) program has funded more than $1.02 billion in grants to state and local governments and certain non-profits – including houses of worship – recovering from the 2017 hurricane:

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — FEMA has approved $3,264,330 to the state of Florida to assist Christ Church of Panama City to replace its destroyed facility, facility contents and equipment following Hurricane Michael in October 2018 under FEMA’s Public Assistance Program.

 

U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS – Houses of worship play a major role in disaster preparedness, response and recovery. The faith-based community across the Virgin Islands is partnering with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Virgin Islands Territorial Emergency Management Agency (VITEMA) and the Long-Term Recovery Groups (LTRG) to build a more resilient territory.

Oklahoma City, OK – Six more state/federal Mobile Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs) are opening in the following Oklahoma communities: Cherokee (Alfalfa County), Kingfisher (Kingfisher County), Moffett (Sequoyah County), Bartlesville (Washington County), Vinita (Craig County) and Perry (Noble County).

WASHINGTON – Gulf Coast residents need to prepare for Tropical Storm Barry which formed today, Thursday, July 11, over the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Given unprecedented magnitude of natural disasters over the past two years and the current projected path of the storm, a hurricane making landfall is likely to impact communities still working to recover from a previous event. As such, even smaller and less severe storms could have a more significant impact.

Now is the Time to Prepare

Kansas City, MO. – Homeowners and renters in Andrew, Atchison, Buchanan, Holt, and Platte counties who were affected by flooding that began as early as March and may still be continuing are encouraged to apply for federal disaster assistance to help jump start their recovery.

AUSTIN, Texas – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has awarded more than $6.2 million to the City of Houston for the repair and replacement of several city vehicles, fire department vehicles and equipment following Hurricane Harvey.

 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Missourians in 20 counties impacted by the flooding and severe weather beginning on April 29 and continuing are immediately eligible to apply for federal disaster assistance to help jump start their recovery. It’s as easy as a 20-minute phone call or a click online.

President Donald J. Trump made the federal assistance available Tuesday when he approved a Major Disaster Declaration request from the state of Missouri to help with costs associated with flooding, tornadoes and severe storms.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Alaska residents are working hard on their recovery from the Nov. 30 earthquake. While the application period has ended, if you have an application on file, you can get questions answered, submit appeal letters and request extensions to submit documents. But we need to hear from you.

 

Orlando, Fla. – FEMA has approved $28,308,500 for the State of Florida to help Polk County defray the costs of debris removal for Hurricane Irma under FEMA’s Public Assistance Program.

Orlando, Fla. – FEMA has approved $2,958,716 for the State of Florida to help the City of Marathon defray the costs of debris removal for Hurricane Irma under FEMA’s Public Assistance Program.

Orlando, Fla. – FEMA has approved $3,058,363 for the State of Florida to help the City of Bonita Springs defray the costs of debris removal for Hurricane Irma under FEMA’s Public Assistance Program.

Orlando, Fla. – FEMA has approved $1,146,910 for the State of Florida to help the City of Coconut Creek defray the costs of debris removal for Hurricane Irma under FEMA’s Public Assistance Program.

During that time period, the city’s contractor gathered and hauled 88,610 cubic yards of vegetative debris and 183 cubic yards of construction/demolition debris to a temporary disposal site.
