The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued a notice amending the major disaster declaration for South Carolina. This amendment, dated October 21, 2024, adds Kershaw and Lancaster Counties to the list of areas eligible for Public Assistance, including direct Federal assistance, as previously declared by the President on September 29, 2024. The document also lists specific federal programs that can be used for funding and support, such as Community Disaster Loans and Disaster Housing Assistance. Deanne Criswell, Administrator of FEMA, approved this amendment.
Simple Explanation
FEMA updated a big help plan for South Carolina after a disaster to now include two more places, Kershaw and Lancaster. This means these places can get special help and money from the government to recover and fix things.
