The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approved a $6.2 million grant to the Florida Division of Emergency Management. This grant will reimburse the costs of debris removal on Fort Myers Beach. The debris removed included various types such as construction and demolition debris, concrete debris, hazardous household waste, vegetative debris, sand, and sandy construction and demolition debris from roads and public property.
The public assistance program offered by FEMA grants financial aid to state, tribal, and local governments, as well as specific private nonprofit organizations, including houses of worship. This assistance aims to support communities in their response to and recovery from significant disasters or emergencies.
