President Biden Amends California Disaster Declaration
Washington, D.C.– On Friday, January 13, 2023, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. amended the major disaster declaration for the State of California to include assistance for individuals and households impacted by severe winter storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides from December 26, 2022, to January 17, 2023.
The President’s action makes federal funding available to affected individuals in the counties of Fresno, Los Angeles, Mariposa, Merced, Monterey, Napa, Placer, Riverside, Sacramento, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, San Mateo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Stanislaus, Tulare, Tuolumne, and Ventura.
Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and households recover from the effects of the disaster.
Federal funding is also available to state, tribal, and local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations for emergency protective measures, including direct federal assistance, under the Public Assistance program.
Earlier this week, President Biden approved a major disaster declaration for the State of California due to the severe winter storms that began on December 26, 2022. That declaration provided federal funding for emergency protective measures, including direct federal assistance, under the Public Assistance program for all counties in the State of California.
Today’s amendment designates the incident as a major disaster for purposes of individual assistance.
Deanne Criswell, Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), named Michael G. Shaw as the Federal Coordinating Officer for Federal recovery operations in the affected areas.
FEMA said additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage assessments.
