Letter to the Hon. Graig Fugate, Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency - Requesting More Assistance for Rural Floridains

Letter

Dear Administrator Fugate:

I write today regarding the recent issuance of a major disaster declaration for the State of Florida triggering the release of federal funds to help people and communities recover from Hurricane Hermine that occurred August 31 to September 11, 2016.

In addition to the counties included in the initial September 28 declaration, Governor Rick Scott included Franklin, Taylor, and Wakulla counties for individual assistance. As you continue to make designations for all affected counties, I encourage you to expedite these requests so that people can get the assistance they need.

Floridians are still cleaning up from this disaster -- people in counties that were included in the initial designation and those in counties still under federal review. It is important to all of us that all designations are made as quickly as possible. Thank you for your commitment to get this done.

Sincerely,
