The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has issued a notice about a major disaster declaration for the State of Georgia, dated January 12, 2021. This was in response to the damage caused by Tropical Storm Zeta on October 29, 2020. FEMA has authorized federal assistance to support affected areas through Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation. The designated areas in Georgia include several counties such as Banks, Carroll, and Cherokee, and assistance is limited to 75% of total eligible costs.
Simple Explanation
FEMA is helping people in Georgia because a big storm hurt their homes and towns. They will pay to fix things, but they won't cover everything, just some of the costs.
