FEMA Approves More Than $33.3 Million to Michigan Communities to Recover from Recent Disasters

CHICAGO - FEMA recently announced the approval of more than $33.3 million in post-disaster funding for Public Assistance projects in Michigan. This program empowers states, local communities, Tribal Nations and territories 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.

FEMA disburses this money to states and local communities because they are best positioned to know how these funds will be most effectively spent.

These awards are distributed through FEMA's Public Assistance program, which provides funding to state and local government jurisdictions and eligible private non-profits for the repair, replacement, or restoration of disaster-damaged infrastructure as well as costs incurred for debris removal, disaster cleanup and emergency actions taken to protect lives or property. This latest round of FEMA Public Assistance grants in Michigan includes:

• More than $32.9 million to the Henry Ford Health System for emergency actions, staffing, medical supplies and equipment, disinfection services and establishing testing sites that lessened COVID-19 pandemic impacts on lives, public health and safety.
• More than $425,000 to Emmet County for debris removal costs from severe snowstorms in March 2025.

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 severe storms, tornadoes, hurricanes and wildfires while making them more resilient from future disasters.
