The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has amended a major disaster declaration for Florida, initially declared on September 23, 2020. As of January 15, 2021, Kevin A. Wallace has been appointed as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this disaster, replacing Jeffrey L. Coleman. This change is part of FEMA's authority under an executive order and includes several assistance programs for community disaster recovery.
Simple Explanation
FEMA, the group that helps when big problems happen, changed who is in charge of helping Florida after a big disaster. Kevin is now in charge instead of Jeffrey, but it's not really clear why they made these changes or how the money is spent to help people.
