ORLANDO, FLA. – FEMA has awarded grants totaling $3,781,942 for the
State of Florida to reimburse applicants for the costs of emergency
response and beach restoration following Hurricane Dorian in 2019.

The FEMA Public Assistance program grants include:

FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES: $2,093,708 for 112 state
mutual aid missions including the costs of labor, equipment, materials
and contracts to manage search and rescue operations, respond to fires
and provide emergency care.

MARTIN COUNTY: $1,688,234 for the cost of installing 54,433 cubic
yards of engineered dune beach sand, 31,596 native dune plants and
1,500 linear feet of protective sand fencing at Bathtub Beach Reef
Park.

The program provides grants to state, tribal and local governments,
and certain types of private nonprofit organizations, including some
houses of worship, so 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 Public Assistance 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
subrecipients such as local and county governments.
