Federal Aid Programs for the State of Utah Disaster Recovery
Following is a summary of key federal disaster aid programs that can be made available as needed and warranted under President Obama's major disaster declaration issued for the State of Utah.
President Declares Disaster for Utah
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency announced that federal disaster aid has been made available to the State of Utah to supplement state and local recovery efforts in the area affected by a severe storm during the period of November 30 to December 1, 2011.
2011 North Dakota Floods - Public Assistance
FEMA’s Public Assistance Program provides funding to local government jurisdictions and eligible private non-profits for the repair, replacement, or restoration of disaster-damaged infrastructure as well as costs incurred for disaster cleanup or emergency actions taken to protect lives or property. Due to the large impact of this disaster, the federal share of recovery costs was increased from 75 to 90 percent. The remaining share is the responsibility of the state and local or tribal government or non-profit organization.
2011 North Dakota Floods - Individual Assistance
Residents of nine North Dakota counties and one reservation were able to register for assistance with FEMA. FEMA’s Individual Assistance program provides aid to get families into safe and secure housing following a disaster and in some cases can provide for essential needs. The U.S. Small Business Administration provides low-interest loans to help get people back to their pre-disaster condition. FEMA also coordinates with voluntary agencies that deliver help that cannot be provided by government programs. A summary of efforts in North Dakota is as follows:
Federal Aid for N.D. Flood Recovery Nears $500 Million
