Clearlake, CA - Today, Congressman Mike Thompson (CA-05) made the following statement following the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) approval of Individual Assistance disaster relief for Lake County:
"I'm happy to announce that today FEMA approved Individual Assistance disaster relief funds for Lake County. This money will bring relief to individuals and families who have lost homes and property in the fires to help them recover and rebuild.
"Over the last week, I've worked with FEMA and the White House to make sure federal relief is quickly approved for our community. The approval of this Individual Assistance is the first step on yet another long road to recovery for Lake County, and will be an important resource for those who have lost everything.
"I'll continue to work with the Administration to ensure our District has all the necessary resources we need to get our community back on its feet."
