The President today declared a major disaster exists for the Santa Clara Pueblo and ordered federal aid to supplement the Tribe's efforts in the area affected by severe storms and flooding during the period of July 19-21, 2013.
Federal funding is available to the Santa Clara Pueblo and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work as a result of the severe storms and flooding.
W. Craig Fugate, Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Homeland Security, named Nancy M. Casper as the Federal Coordinating Officer for federal recovery operations in the affected area.
FEMA said additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by the Tribe and warranted by the results of further damage assessments.
