Individual and public FEMA assistance granted for South Mississippi
“Over the weekend, President Joe Biden granted a Major Disaster Declaration for Mississippi after Hurricane Ida ripped through the state about two months ago.
Amite, Claiborne, Copiah, Covington, Franklin, George, Hancock, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Lawrence, Lincoln, Pearl River, Pike, Simpson, Walthall, Wayne, and Wilkinson counties have been granted public assistance for local governments and eligible private nonprofits for costs of emergency work and repairs/replacements of facilities damaged from Ida.
Amite, Hancock, Harrison, Jackson, Pearl River, Pike, Walthall, and Wilkinson counties were granted individual assistance for residents and businesses to help pay for temporary housing, home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs to help with recovery efforts.
‘That’s great news for anyone that received damage due to Hurricane Ida,’ said MEMA Director of External Affairs Malary White.”
