The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), part of the Department of Homeland Security, has issued a notice to update a major disaster declaration for Idaho, originally dated April 9, 2020. On January 20, 2021, Vincent J. Maykovich was appointed as the new Federal Coordinating Officer, replacing Michael F. O'Hare. This change affects several programs that offer federal assistance during disasters, such as community disaster loans, crisis counseling, and disaster unemployment assistance.
Simple Explanation
FEMA, a team that helps people during disasters, changed the person in charge of helping Idaho after a big disaster from Michael to Vincent, but they didn't explain exactly why or how the help plans will change.
