the areas affected by severe storms, straight-line winds,
tornadoes and flooding on July 31, 2024. 

Federal funding is available to state, tribal and eligible local
governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a
cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of

Saunders counties.

Federal funding is also available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard
mitigation measures statewide.

Andrew P. Meyer has been named the Federal Coordinating Officer for
federal recovery operations in the affected areas. Designations may be
