SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Survivors of the Zogg and Glass fires are now eligible to apply for federal disaster assistance to help them recover their losses. The Glass Fire started Sept. 27 in Napa and Sonoma counties; the Zogg Fire started the same day in Shasta County.
As of Oct. 22, Napa, Shasta and Sonoma counties have been added to the list of California counties designated for assistance to individuals and households as part of the Oct. 16 Major Disaster Declaration. The seven counties previously approved under this declaration are: Fresno, Los Angeles, Madera, Mendocino, San Bernardino, San Diego and Siskiyou.
All of these counties are now able to receive federal aid for Emergency Protective Measures (Category B) under FEMA’s Public Assistance (PA) Program. Eligible applicants for PA funds include state, county and local governments, federally recognized tribal governments, and some private nonprofits such as educational and medical facilities.
