    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced a major disaster declaration for the Commonwealth of Virginia due to damages from Tropical Storm Helene starting on September 25, 2024. This declaration allows for federal assistance, including Individual Assistance, debris removal, and emergency protective measures in specified counties and cities, while all areas of Virginia can access the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
