FEMA Approves Nearly $92 Million in Funding to Help Communities Recover from Recent Disasters and Strengthen Their Resilience Against Future Disasters in the Mid-Atlantic

PHILADELPHIA - Today, FEMA announced the approval of nearly $92 million in post-disaster funding for Public Assistance projects in Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. These programs empower states, local communities, Tribal Nations and territories to recover to rebuild more resilient, safer communities and protect infrastructure from future events. With this funding, President Donald J. Trump is keeping his promise to reform federal disaster support and ensure that taxpayer money is spent only on projects that deliver safety and security to the American people.

The funding approved today includes almost $92 million under FEMA's Public Assistance program awarded across three states.

FEMA disburses this money to states, who then direct it to local communities, because they are best positioned to know how these funds will be most effectively spent. The funded projects include repairs to critical infrastructure, restoration of public buildings, road repairs and reimbursement for costs incurred to ensure public health and safety after a disaster.

Examples of projects reimbursed through Public Assistance funding approved today include:

• More than $1.4 million to the Virginia Department of Transportation for permanent repairs to state routes in Dickenson County damaged by the February 2025 severe winter storms and flooding.
• More than $565,000 to West Virginia's Ohio County Public Service District to fund system-wide water and sewer system repairs due to damage from the severe storms in June 2025.
• More than $511,000 to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to fund bridge repair or replacement as a result of 2024 Tropical Storm Debby.

These projects are the latest examples of billions of dollars in disaster recovery provided by FEMA to support state and local communities as they work to rebuild from recent natural disasters.

FEMA continues its renewed commitment to help communities recover from disasters like hurricanes, severe storms, tornadoes and wildfires while making them more resilient from future disasters.
