The request seeks nearly $4.5 million in federal aid for housing and recovery, plus broader statewide support through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program to build resilience against future disasters. With state resources stretched thin amid multiple emergencies, the governor’s office is also keeping options open to expand the request as damage assessments continue.
