Information about the Federal Disaster Declaration

Thurston County government is included in the recent federal disaster declaration for the January 2012 winter storm. Federal funding is available to state and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the severe winter storm. This declaration does not include assistance to individual homeowners and businesses, as the amount of state- and community-wide private damages not covered by insurance did not meet thresholds for a federal declaration. More information is available for private nonprofit organizations to help you determine whether your organization may be eligible for assistance.
