Salzman expects DeSantis to request FEMA disaster declaration for Florida
What happened
Michelle Salzman expects Ron DeSantis to request a FEMA disaster declaration for Northwest Florida within 24 hours. This follows Hurricane Isaias, and while President Donald Trump approved an initial presidential emergency declaration for Florida, that assistance is limited to public facilities. Salzman stated that the damage was more extensive than expected and that a broader declaration is needed for additional federal support.

Why it matters
A broader disaster declaration could open the door to additional FEMA operations and federal support beyond the initial limited assistance. The process for this declaration depends on detailed information flowing from the counties affected by the storm.
