    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published a notice about the Presidential declaration of an emergency in the State of New York due to severe storms and flooding on August 18-19, 2024. This declaration authorizes FEMA to provide emergency assistance to save lives and protect property, with Suffolk County specifically designated for federal assistance. The emergency measures will include direct federal assistance under the Public Assistance program, covering 75% of eligible costs. Additionally, several federal programs have been identified for potential aid, such as community disaster loans and crisis counseling.

    Simple Explanation

    In August 2024, the President said there was an emergency in New York because of bad storms and floods, and this means the government will help people there, especially in Suffolk County, by paying for some things to keep everyone safe, but they need to figure out exactly how it all works and make sure it happens on time.
