    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced a major disaster declaration for Connecticut due to Tropical Storm Isaias on August 4, 2020. This declaration allows for federal assistance to be provided to affected areas for public assistance and hazard mitigation, with the federal government covering 75% of eligible costs. Various counties, including Fairfield and Hartford, alongside the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan Tribes, are eligible for aid. Support under this declaration includes a range of federal programs, such as disaster loans and housing assistance.

    Simple Explanation

    FEMA is helping places in Connecticut after a big storm by giving them money to fix things and stay safe, but they cover only part of the costs, and the rules about this help can be a bit confusing.

    Type:Notice

    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has released a notice amending a major disaster declaration for Connecticut, originally declared on September 20, 2024. This amendment adds the Public Assistance program to Fairfield, Litchfield, and New Haven Counties, which were already designated for Individual Assistance due to the disaster. The amendment allows these areas to receive additional aid for recovery projects. The declaration highlights several funding sources available for disaster relief and recovery efforts in the affected areas.

    Simple Explanation

    FEMA has decided to help more people in Connecticut by giving extra money to fix things in three counties after something bad happened there, even though they didn't say what the bad thing was. This means they will help fix buildings and places, not just help people directly.

    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 97077
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is seeking public input on its draft document, Supplement 15, Second Renewal, related to extending the operating license of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station in South Carolina for an additional 20 years. Two alternatives to the proposed extension are being considered: taking no action or using alternative sources for replacement power. The NRC will host a virtual public meeting on December 17, 2024, and an in-person meeting on January 9, 2025, to discuss the proposal and invites public comments by January 21, 2025. The draft document evaluates the environmental impacts of the license renewal, and the NRC believes that these impacts do not outweigh the benefits of maintaining the renewal option.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to know what people think about letting a power plant in South Carolina keep making electricity for 20 more years. People can say what they think by writing letters or talking at special meetings.
