The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has announced its commitment to covering the full cost of removing wildfire debris in Southern California for 180 days. However, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell has acknowledged that the work will extend beyond this initial time frame.
During a press briefing on Monday morning, Criswell stated, 'It’s going to take more than six months to remove this debris.' The 180-day coverage for debris removal was announced by FEMA last week, with the agency also confirming that the coverage includes the full cost of lifesaving activities, such as fire suppression efforts.
