SUMMARY:
As a result of the 2017 Winter Storms, Monterey County submitted 111 project worksheets to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for repair projects totaling over $62.8 million. At the April 24, 2018 Board of Supervisors (Board) meeting, staff reported 47 projects ($23.4 million) had been approved and funds obligated by FEMA or FHWA.

RMA staff can initiate an additional 18 projects totaling $14.4 million but are pending availability of resources.
In addition to these repair projects, another 16 projects are pending approval from FEMA or FHWA totaling $12.6 million. To date 33 projects have been determined to be ineligible ($6.8 million) for reimbursement.
