TALLAHASSEE, Fla. \u2013 Today, just hours after Governor Rick Scott\u2019s request, President Donald Trump approved a major disaster declaration. This declaration authorizes federal funding to flow directly to Floridians impacted by Hurricane Irma and reimburses local communities and the state government to aid in response and recovery from Hurricane Irma. This morning, Hurricane Irma made landfall at Cudjoe Key in the Lower Florida Keys.<\/p>\n

[HURRICANE IRMA: Watch Live Local Coverage From Florida<\/a>]<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Governor Rick Scott said, \u201cIt\u2019s clear that the entire country is standing with Florida as Hurricane Irma batters our state right now. I have heard from people all across the world that want to help and support Florida. It\u2019s encouraging, and on behalf of all Floridians \u2013 we appreciate the support and constant collaboration.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thankful that President Trump, who I\u2019ve spoken with multiple times this week, has been 100 percent supportive of our efforts and offered every resource of the federal government. Working with local emergency management professionals and FEMA, we will make sure that no expense is spared to help families respond and recover.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Major Disaster Declaration approved by President Trump authorizes the following:<\/p>\n

– 100 percent federal reimbursement for thirty days in all counties for emergency protective measures, such as Emergency Operation Center costs, evacuation costs, sheltering costs, and other costs associated with emergency response. After the thirty days, the federal government will reimburse 75 percent of these costs. This includes both local and state expenses;<\/p>\n

– 75 percent federal reimbursement for all counties for debris removal;<\/p>\n

– Direct federal financial assistance for impacted Florida families in the following counties: Charlotte, Collier, Hillsborough; Lee, Manatee, Miami-Dade, Monroe, Pinellas, and Sarasota Counties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
