    The Federal Emergency Management Agency, part of the Department of Homeland Security, issued a notice amending a major disaster declaration for Georgia due to Hurricane Helene. Originally declared on September 30, 2024, the amendment allows for federal funds to cover 100% of eligible costs for debris removal and emergency protective measures for a designated 90-day period within the first 120 days after the hurricane's impact.
