    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued a notice about an amendment to a previous disaster declaration for Maryland, originally declared on March 26, 2020. This amendment was made on January 20, 2021, and it involves appointing Janice P. Barlow as the new Federal Coordinating Officer, replacing MaryAnn Tierney. The notice also lists various federal assistance programs available for disaster recovery, such as Community Disaster Loans and Crisis Counseling. Dean Webster from FEMA's Office of Response and Recovery is the contact person for more information.

    Simple Explanation

    FEMA changed the person in charge of helping Maryland after a big problem happened, and now Janice is in charge instead of MaryAnn. They also mentioned some help people can get, like special loans and talking to someone if they are upset, but it's a bit tricky to understand who can get it or how much help there is.
