This amendment, dated October 4, 2024, changes how federal funds are shared, allowing for 100% federal funding for certain emergency tasks for 90 days within the first 120 days after the storm. This includes costs for debris removal and emergency measures. The change was authorized under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.
