ATLANTA — FEMA announced more than $13 million in funding for 10 recovery and mitigation projects to help
communities recover from recent storms and past disasters and promote resilience.
FEMA is awarding more than $13 million for nine Public Assistance projects to reimburse Mississippi communities
for the costs of debris removal, critical infrastructure and public-use facility repair and emergency protective
measures. Notable projects include:
• $9.7 million to the state following a severe winter storm for disaster management costs.
• $1.4 million to Corinth for debris removal efforts.
• $576,000 to Marshall County for debris removal efforts.
• $488,000 to Burnsville for debris removal efforts.
Today’s funding also includes $150,000 from FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, which empowers states,
local governments, tribal nations and territories to complete activities and projects that prevent, eliminate, or reduce
disaster-related damage. Mississippi will use the funding to build residential safe rooms and for disaster
management costs.
