WASHINGTON — President Trump and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem continue delivering on their promise to provide disaster relief to Americans throughout the Southeast as they recover from Hurricanes Helene and Milton that caused billions in damages last year.  

Since Jan. 20, the Trump administration has prioritized locally-led recovery, providing more than $3.6 billion in funding to speed up debris removal and fund critical infrastructure projects across the Southeast. In total, more than 107 million cubic yards of debris has been cleared.  

Southeastern states and local governments continue to lead recovery with FEMA and other federal agency support. To date, FEMA has provided more than $14.3 billion in flood insurance payments and grants to survivors, communities, states and tribes.   

“Communities affected by these storms are rebuilding stronger as they drive their recovery,” said Secretary Noem. “We’re committed to cutting the red tape and getting recovery dollars moving faster than ever before.”  

Helping Families Recover

FEMA provided more than $2.9 billion in grants to survivors, and paid $7.86 billion in flood insurance claims, while the U.S. Small Business Administration provided more than $1.5 billion in low-interest disaster loans to home and business owners.   

FEMA is providing disaster housing in four states for 1,026 families, and 299 have already found a permanent housing solution.

The U.S. National Science Foundation is investing approximately $30 million in institutions across Montana, Idaho and Louisiana to establish NSF EPSCoR Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (NSF EPSCoR CREST Centers). These centers aim to expand STEM knowledge, enhance research productivity and attract more students from those regions into STEM fields.

Montana

Montana Technological University will establish the Center for Energy Technologies, a research hub focusing on energy systems. The researchers aim to develop tools that can be deployed locally to convert biomass, like beetle-killed trees, into biochar and renewable energy, such as heat and electricity.

Idaho

Boise State University will launch the Center for Advancing Workforce Experience through Semiconductors, Outreach, and Mentoring Excellence. The center aims to transform education at the university by integrating semiconductor science into classroom experiences.

Louisiana

Louisiana State University (LSU) Health Sciences Center New Orleans will establish the Center for Adaptive Nanomotor Development, combining nanomotor research with workforce development to encourage the development of critical technologies in molecular design, energy transduction and motor proteins.

Additionally, LSU Health Sciences Center Shreveport will establish the Center for Post-Transcriptional Regulation — an innovative, interdisciplinary research center focusing on how cells regulate metabolism through post-transcriptional processes. The work will explore the role of RNA molecules and protein modifications in metabolic control, potentially paving the way for biotechnological innovations and translational applications.

“These new centers are an important way to
