The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has amended a previous notice regarding a major disaster declaration for Louisiana. This update includes Iberville, St. Bernard, and Tangipahoa Parishes as areas eligible for public assistance, and Jefferson Parish, which was already approved for individual assistance, is now also eligible for public assistance. Various federal funds and programs are available to support the affected areas in response to the disaster declared by the President on September 16, 2024. The amendment was issued on October 15, 2024.
Simple Explanation
FEMA made changes to a disaster help notice for Louisiana, adding more areas to get help after a big storm, but it's a bit confusing because they didn't explain why those areas were chosen or how much money will be given.
