U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-5) today announced that President Obama issued a major disaster declaration for the State of California triggering the release of federal funds to help people recover from the Valley Fire that occurred September 12, 2015, and is continuing. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Individual Assistance (IA) funds will be available to help individuals rebuild, repair and replace housing and other personal property not covered by insurance.

"These much needed funds will help families in our community begin the rebuilding and recovery process," said Thompson. "So many people lost so much that can never be replaced but this assistance will go a long way towards helping folks return their lives to normal. I thank President Obama and FEMA for making this money available so quickly."
