FEMA Approves More Than $10 Million Funding to Help Communities Recover from Recent Disasters in the Mid-Atlantic
PHILADELPHIA — Last week, FEMA announced the approval of more than $10 million in post-disaster funding for Public Assistance projects in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia
These programs empower states, local communities, tribes and territories to recover to rebuild more resilient, safer communities and protect infrastructure from future events
With this funding, President Donald J
Trump is keeping his promise to reform federal disaster support and ensure that taxpayer money is spent only on projects that deliver safety and security to the American people
The funding approved includes more than $10
3 million under FEMA’s Public Assistance program awarded across four states
FEMA disburses this money to states and local communities because they are best positioned to know how these funds will be most effectively spent
The funded projects include repairs to critical infrastructure, restoration of public buildings, road repairs and reimbursement for costs incurred to ensure public health and safety after a disaster
Examples of projects reimbursed through Public Assistance funding approved on Friday, July 17, include: $1
1 million to Perkasie Borough in Pennsylvania for permanent repairs to the historic wooden covered bridge following damage from the remnants of Hurricane Ida
More than $754,000 to the Virginia Department of Transportation to fund repairs and replacement of roads and other infrastructure damaged by severe winter storms and flooding
More than $185,000 to the Delaware National Guard to fund emergency protective measures as a result of the severe winter storm in February 2026
More than $175,000 to the Town of Oceana in West Virginia to fund the repair or replacement of water plant pumps damaged due to the February 2025 severe storms
Nearly $175,000 to the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources to fund repair and replacement of concrete decks, piers, and gravel road surfaces as a result of Hurricane Helene
These projects are the latest examples of billions of dollars in disaster recovery provided by FEMA to support state and local communities as they work to rebuild from recent natural disasters
FEMA continues its renewed commitment to help communities recover from disasters like hurricanes, severe storms, tornadoes and wildfires while making them more resilient from future disasters
