Massachusetts Governor Healey has taken significant steps in response to FEMA's denial of a major disaster declaration for the state following severe flooding in September. Initially, a Mass. congresswoman led a request for $3 billion for FEMA's Shelter and Services Program. Following FEMA's denial, Governor Healey has appealed to the Biden administration and directly urged FEMA to reconsider their decision on the disaster aid request. These actions highlight the state's concerted effort to secure federal assistance in the aftermath of the flooding.
