WASHINGTON – The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced today
that federal disaster assistance has been made available to the state
of Connecticut to supplement state, tribal, and local recovery efforts
in the areas affected by severe storms, tornadoes, and straight-line
winds on May 15, 2018.

Federal funding is also available to the state, tribal, and local
governments, and certain private nonprofit organizations on a
cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of
facilities damaged by the severe storms, tornadoes, and straight-line
winds in Fairfield and New Haven counties.

Federal funding is also available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard
mitigation measures within the state.

James N. Russo has been named as the Federal Coordinating Officer for
federal recovery operations in the affected area. Russo said
additional designations may be made at a later date if warranted by
the results of further damage assessments.
