WASHINGTON – Senator Ashley Moody’s office announced it secured more than $2.5 billion in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding for Florida communities. According to the press release, the funds are designated as reimbursements for disaster recovery efforts, with some of the claims dating back to 2017.
The funding is intended to support more than 500 projects statewide. The senator’s office said the money will fund a range of recovery projects, including repairs to schools and other educational facilities, infrastructure restoration, debris removal, and costs related to emergency protective measures.
In the announcement, Moody’s office also noted her legislative efforts on disaster aid, including the passage of the TRACK Act, which mandates a public-facing status tracker for FEMA claims. The release also mentioned the senator’s recent work with state and federal officials to secure aid following Hurricane Isaias earlier this month.
Moody won re-election earlier this month against Angie Nixon.
