NEW JERSEY

President Biden has declared that a major disaster exists in New Jersey, after the remnants of Hurricane Ida caused flooding and devastation across New Jersey last week.

This declaration makes federal funding available to people affected by the storm in Bergen, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Passaic, and Somerset counties. This assistance covers temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs designed to help people and business owners recover. FEMA assessment teams are on the ground evaluating the needs of other counties. We’re working with the federal government to ensure our residents, businesses, and municipalities get the assistance they deserve.
