WASHINGTON – FEMA announced that federal disaster assistance has

The President’s action makes federal funding available to the state,
eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations
on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair and
replacement of facilities damaged by severe storms and flooding in
Addison, Chittenden, Essex, Franklin, Lamoille, Orange, Orleans, and
Washington counties. 

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

for federal recovery operations in the affected area. McPherson said
additional designations may be made at a later date if warranted by
the results of further damage assessments.
