News and Media: Disaster 4764

Join team FEMA and help your community recover from the January 9, 2024 through January 13, 2024 severe storm and flooding. FEMA is looking for Local Hires in South Portland with experience in mitigation, public assistance, environmental and historic preservation and planning.

From January 9-13, 2024, eight coastal counties in Maine were hit with back-to-back severe storms that brought significant flooding and damage. Six months later, federal support is continuing to help Mainers move forward in their recovery including funds for home repair, emergency lodging, transportation, and other needs.

FEMA is looking for Maine residents who want to support the recovery effort from January's severe storm. Many FEMA career employees began as local hires and hiring locally helps build the agency's disaster recovery workforce.

Although the deadline to apply for FEMA assistance for the January 9-13 severe storms has passed, we are still available to help applicants.

Homeowners and renters in Kent, Providence and Washington counties who had damage from the severe storm and flooding that took place from Dec. 17-19, 2023 and Jan. 9-13, 2024 have just one week left to apply for disaster assistance.
