NMI eligible for more disaster aid
The CNMI is eligible to receive more federal disaster funds, including from the U.S. Economic Development Administration and the U.S. Department of Education.
EDA officials are now in contact with their counterparts in the CNMI, since Typhoon Mangkhut and Super Typhoon Yutu struck the Commonwealth in September and October last year. EDA has identified 40 potential projects that they can help fund in the CNMI.
EDA helps in the timely delivery of federal assistance to support communities in their long-term recovery after being hit by major disasters.
The CNMI can get a share of the $600 million in disaster relief funds from EDA, which was enacted from Public Law 116-20. EDA representatives are set to arrive this week to assist the CNMI with its plans and applications for the funds.
