FEMA Allocates Millions for Disaster Recovery and Resilience Across Multiple States

FEMA announced nearly $43 million for disaster recovery and resilience projects in Alaska, Oregon and Washington, including more than $20 million in resilience grants and a project integrating a tsunami evacuation refuge into Columbia Memorial Hospital in Oregon. Louisiana communities will receive $27.4 million for recovery from hurricanes, a severe winter storm and saltwater intrusion, supporting beach protection, emergency measures, building repairs and debris removal. FEMA also approved more than $28 million across Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska for storm recovery and mitigation, including over $10 million to repair Cornell College’s historic chapel and $3.8 million for buildings in Rock Valley. Earlier awards included about $4 million reimbursing Kansas for costs tied to a 2019 severe-storm disaster declaration and more than $434,000 for Missouri mitigation-program management, as well as more than $21 million for recovery and mitigation in Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. That funding included emergency measures and debris removal in Michigan, road repairs in Ohio and Illinois projects to reduce future disaster damage.
