FEMA Awards Tulare County $33.1 Million for 2023 Flood Road Repairs
Tulare County announced Friday that FEMA is providing approximately $33.1 million to repair roads, bridges, and other infrastructure damaged during the 2023 winter storms and flooding. The funding covers all 38 county projects tied to the disaster, which was declared a major federal disaster in April 2023. Congressmen Vince Fong (CA-20) and David Valadao (CA-22), along with Tulare County officials, had been seeking up to $42 million for the repairs over more than three years. The county's Board of Supervisors Chair Amy Shuklian credited Supervisor Larry Micari for keeping the issue before Congress and FEMA until funding was secured.
