Gov. Hochul requests federal emergency declaration in wake of severe storms this week

Governor Kathy Hochul announced Saturday she has requested a federal Emergency Declaration from President Biden to support response and recovery operations in 1

5 counties following a string of severe weather which devastated areas throughout upstate New York on July 15 and 16.A federal Emergency Declaration would authorize FEMA to provide reimbursement for debris removal operations, emergency protective measures like search and rescue operations, and actions to eliminate or reduce immediate threats of significant additional damage to critical infrastructure such as roads, bridges, water control facilities and utilities.

While the federal government considers the request, the State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services is continuing to work with impacted counties to assess infrastructure damages to determine the state’s ability to request a Major Disaster Declaration from President Biden which would open up additional funding to support recovery operations for the July 15 and 16 storms, as well as severe storms on July 10 -11.
