FEMA Approves Nearly $3 Million Funding to Help Communities Recover from Recent Disasters in Arizona, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam and Hawai’i
OAKLAND, Calif
— Today, FEMA announced the approval of nearly $3 million in post-disaster funding for Public Assistance projects in Arizona, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam and Hawai‘i
These programs empower states, local communities, tribes and territories to recover to rebuild more resilient, safer communities
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 today includes $2
9 million under FEMA’s Public Assistance program awarded across four states and territories
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 today include: Nearly $1
6 million to Maui County Department of Public Works for emergency protective measures as a result of the Maui wildfires
Nearly $752,000 to the Guam Department of Education for building repair as a result of Typhoon Mawar
More than $333,000 to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands for emergency protective measures as a result of Super Typhoon Sinlaku
More than $195,000 to the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management for fire suppression costs as a result of the Shake Fire
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
