FEMA: President Biden Approves Major Disaster Declaration for New Hampshire

FEMA announced that federal disaster assistance has been made available to the state of New Hampshire to supplement state and local recovery efforts in the areas affected by a severe storm and flooding from July 17-19, 2021.

Federal funding is available to the state, eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of disaster-damaged facilities in Cheshire County.

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

Robert Fogel has been named the Federal Coordinating Officer for federal recovery operations in the affected areas. Additional designations may be made at a later date if warranted by the results of damage assessments.
