CUMMING - Forsyth County recently received reimbursement funds from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the county’s response and recovery efforts following the February 16, 2015 ice storm.
The funds received totaled $219,645 and cover costs related to debris removal, emergency protective measures and damage to public buildings and vehicles.
A large part of the reimbursement is to cover the personnel and equipment expenses related to this debris removal.
In April, a Presidential Disaster Declaration confirmed Forsyth County was eligible under the FEMA Public Assistance program to receive reimbursement of certain expenses related to the storm.
