WASHINGTON -- FEMA announced 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 the remnants of
Hurricane Ida during the period of Sept. 1-2, 2021.

The President's action makes federal funding available to affected
individuals in Fairfield and New London counties, including the
Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and the Mohegan Tribal Nation.

Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs,
low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs
to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of
the disaster.

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

Robert V. Fogel has been named as the Federal Coordinating Officer for
federal recovery operations in the affected areas. Fogel said
additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by
the state and warranted by the results of further assessments.
