WASHINGTON – The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced that
federal disaster assistance has been made available to the state of
Connecticut to supplement state, tribal, and local recovery efforts in
the areas affected by severe storms and flooding from September 25 to
September 26, 2018.

Federal funding is available to the state, tribal, and local
governments, and certain private nonprofit organizations on a
cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of
facilities damaged by the severe storms and flooding in Middlesex and
New London counties, including the Mashantucket Pequot Indian Tribe
and Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut located within New London
County.

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

James N. Russo has been named as the Federal Coordinating Officer for
federal recovery operations in the affected area. Russo said
additional designations may be made at a later date if warranted by
the results of further damage assessments.
