FEMA announced today that federal disaster assistance is available to the state of Florida to supplement state, tribal, and local response efforts due to the emergency conditions resulting from Hurricane Isaias beginning Oct. 6, 2026, and continuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President\u2019s action authorizes FEMA to coordinate all federal disaster relief efforts to alleviate the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population, and to provide appropriate assistance to save lives, to protect property, public health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The assistance is for Baker, Bay, Calhoun, Citrus, Columbia, Dixie, Escambia, Franklin, Gadsden, Gilchrist, Gulf, Hamilton, Holmes, Jackson, Jefferson, Lafayette, Leon, Levy, Liberty, Madison, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, Suwannee, Taylor, Walton, Wakulla and Washington counties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, FEMA is authorized to identify, mobilize, and provide at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency.  Emergency protective measures, limited to direct federal assistance, will be provided at 75% federal funding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brett H. Howard has been named the Federal Coordinating Officer for federal response operations in the affected area. Designations may be made later if requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage assessments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
