    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced that President has declared a major disaster in Vermont due to severe storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides from July 29 to July 31, 2024. This disaster declaration allows for federal assistance to be provided in the affected counties of Caledonia, Essex, and Orleans, for both Individual and Public Assistance. Additionally, the entire state is eligible for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. Federal funds will cover 75% of the costs for disaster assistance, with specific disaster-related financial assistance programs available through FEMA.

    Simple Explanation

    The President said there was a big problem in Vermont because of bad storms, and now help is coming from the government to fix things like broken buildings and flooded areas. The government will pay for most of the repairs, but not all, and some people might be worried if the help is enough or spent wisely.

This declaration allows federal assistance, including Individual Assistance, Public Assistance, and Hazard Mitigation, to be allocated to the affected areas. The federal aid will cover up to 75% of the eligible costs for these assistance programs. Tonia Pence has been appointed to coordinate the federal response for this disaster. Various financial assistance programs will be available under this declaration, as listed by their Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) numbers.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is giving money to help the Yakama Nation fix things after wildfires burned their area last summer. They will pay for some of the things needed to rebuild, but the Yakama Nation will also need to pay a little bit too.
