FEMA’s Public Assistance program provides grants to state, tribal,
and local governments, and certain types of private nonprofit
organizations, including some houses of worship, so that communities
can quickly respond to and recover from major disasters or
emergencies. The Florida Division of Emergency Management works with
FEMA during all phases of the program and conducts final reviews of
FEMA-approved projects.

The federal share for projects is not less than 75 percent of the
eligible cost. The state determines how the nonfederal share of the
cost of a project (up to 25 percent) is split with the subrecipients
like local and county governments.
