(HARTFORD, CT) - Governor Dannel P. Malloy today announced that more than $7.6 million in federal assistance to date has been approved to help individuals with disaster expenses since President Obama approved his Disaster Declaration request as a result of Storm Sandy.
"Connecticut residents in the declared counties continue to receive much needed federal assistance to help get their lives back to normal after Storm Sandy," said Governor Malloy. "I cannot stress this enough, if you live in one of the declared counties and you suffered damage as a result of Storm Sandy, you must register with FEMA to begin the disaster assistance process."
