    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.
