More counties eligible for aid to governments
ALBANY – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced that government entities in 19 counties are now eligible for disaster assistance to help pay for emergency response costs and repairs to damaged facilities as a result of the severe flooding that began on June 26.
These counties are: Broome, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, Fulton, Greene, Hamilton, Herkimer, Madison, Montgomery, Oneida, Otsego, Rensselaer, Schoharie, Schenectady, Sullivan, Tioga, Tompkins, and Ulster. Eight of these had been approved earlier for emergency work only.
FEMA pays 75 percent of the approved costs and Governor Pataki has announced that the State of NewYork will pay both the state and local share.
The public assistance program reimburses local government, state agencies, and certain private non-profits.
Work may include the repair or replacement of disaster-damaged facilities including:
• Public roads and bridges not on the Federal Aid System.
• Public water control facilities including dams and drainage channels;
• Public utilities such as water treatment and sewage treatment and electrical;
• Public buildings such as police and fire stations, libraries and public office buildings, including their
vehicles and contents; and
• Public parks and recreation facilities including playgrounds, swimming pools, tennis courts, golf
courses, ball fields, and boat ramps.
The New York State Emergency Management Office and FEMA will announce a schedule of local meetings to begin the reimbursement process.
FEMA manages federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. FEMA also initiates mitigation activities, works with state and local emergency managers, and manages the National Flood Insurance Program. FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on March 1, 200.
Disaster recovery assistance is available without regard to race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, economic status or retaliation. If you or someone you know has been discriminated against, contact FEMA at 800-621-FEMA (3362) TTY: 800-462-7585. If suspicious of any abuse of FEMA programs contact the fraud hotline at 1-800-323-8603.
