This disaster declaration allows for federal assistance, including Individual Assistance, debris removal, emergency protective measures, and Hazard Mitigation across specified counties in Florida. The assistance is subject to a cost-sharing policy, where federal support generally covers 75% of eligible costs. FEMA also assigned John E. Brogan as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this disaster.
