OAKLAND, Calif. (Federal Emergency Management Agency) — On Thursday, June 2, 2026, FEMA announced the approval of nearly $14.7 million in post-disaster funding for Public Assistance and Individual Assistance projects in Arizona, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and Hawai’i. These programs empower states, local communities, tribes and territories to recover to rebuild more resilient, safer communities and protect infrastructure from future events. With this funding, President Donald J. Trump is keeping his promise to reform federal disaster support and ensure that taxpayer money is spent only on projects that deliver safety and security to the American people.
The funding approved includes $13.8 million under FEMA’s Public Assistance program awarded across Arizona, Guam, and the CNMI.
FEMA disburses this money to states and local communities because they are best positioned to know how these funds will be most effectively spent. The funded projects include repairs to critical infrastructure, restoration of public buildings, road repairs and reimbursement for costs incurred to ensure public health and safety after a disaster.
Examples of projects reimbursed through Public Assistance funding approved Thursday include:
• $9 million to the Commonwealth Utilities Corporation to repair power transmission and distribution systems in CNMI as a result of Typhoon Yutu.
• $2.5 million to the Arizona Department of Health Services for emergency protective measures as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
• $2.3 million to the Guam Department of Education for permanent repairs to Oceanview Middle School and other facilities as a result of Typhoon Mawar.
In addition, FEMA approved approximately $845,000 in Individual Assistance grants to Hawai’i and CNMI. These grants directly support individuals, families and communities by addressing urgent post-disaster needs such as crisis counseling.
These projects are the latest examples of billions of dollars in disaster recovery provided by FEMA to support state and local communities and territories as they work to rebuild from recent natural disasters. FEMA continues its renewed commitment to help communities recover from disasters like hurricanes, severe storms, tornadoes and wildfires while making them more resilient from future disasters.
