The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has issued an amendment to the major disaster declaration for the U.S. Virgin Islands, initially declared on April 2, 2020. This change, effective December 13, 2020, appoints David Maurstad as the new Federal Coordinating Officer for the disaster, replacing Thomas Von Essen. The notice also specifies which federal aid programs can be used for recovery efforts in response to the disaster.
Simple Explanation
FEMA changed the person in charge of helping the U.S. Virgin Islands after a big disaster, and now David Maurstad is the boss. They also explained which programs can help fix things, but didn't say exactly how the help will be given or why they changed the person in charge.
