    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has amended a major disaster declaration for Florida, initially declared on September 23, 2020. As of January 15, 2021, Kevin A. Wallace has been appointed as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this disaster, replacing Jeffrey L. Coleman. This change is part of FEMA's authority under an executive order and includes several assistance programs for community disaster recovery.

    Simple Explanation

    FEMA, the group that helps when big problems happen, changed who is in charge of helping Florida after a big disaster. Kevin is now in charge instead of Jeffrey, but it's not really clear why they made these changes or how the money is spent to help people.

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced a major disaster declaration for Colorado, signed by the President on January 15, 2021. This declaration is in response to severe damage caused by wildfires between September 6 and November 5, 2020. FEMA will provide federal aid in the affected areas, specifically Public Assistance in Grand and Larimer Counties, and Hazard Mitigation throughout the state. This federal assistance will cover up to 75% of the eligible costs for these initiatives.

    Simple Explanation

    The United States government is helping people in Colorado because big fires hurt many places there; they will pay for most of the repair costs, but the people in Colorado will have to pay a little bit too.
