(AURN News) — President Joe Biden has declared a major disaster in Georgia following the impact of Tropical Storm Debby, the White House announced Tuesday. The storm affected the state from August 4 to August 20, 2024. According to the White House, federal funding is now available to support recovery efforts in several counties hit by the storm. Eight counties - Bryan, Bulloch, Chatham, Effingham, Evans, Liberty, Long, and Screven - will receive assistance for those affected by the disaster. The White House also stated that this aid can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-interest loans for uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover. Additionally, the federal government will provide funding to state, tribal, and eligible local governments, as well as certain nonprofit organizations, in 33 counties. This assistance will support emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the storm on a cost-sharing basis. If you were affected by the storm, you can apply for assistance through www.DisasterAssistance.gov, by calling 800-621-FEMA (3362), or by using the FEMA App. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has changed to how disaster aid is given out. The move could offer survivors of natural disasters a simpler and more streamlined process to get help. Frank Matranga, the director of individual assistance for FEMA's Office of Response & Recovery, joins the show with more details. A new law that went into effect in January requires private insurers to cover doula services for pregnancies in Louisiana. Numerous studies have shown that pregnancy doulas — non-medical professionals who support and advocate for pregnant patients before, during and after they deliver their babies — improve maternal health outcomes. But until this year, they have been out of reach for many expecting Louisiana mothers. Alena Maschke, health reporter for The Times Picayune/The Advocate, tells us more. We could soon have more research on the Gulf of Mexico. That's thanks to a new ship currently being built in Houma. It's part of the U.S. Academic Research Fleet. Eva Tesfaye, Coastal Desk reporter, tells us how the ship could fill gaps in research in the understudied region. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

Catastrophic Diplomacy: US Foreign Disaster Assistance in the American Century (UNC Press, 2023) offers a sweeping history of US foreign disaster assistance, highlighting its centrality to twentieth-century US foreign relations. Spanning over seventy years, from the dawn of the twentieth century to the mid-1970s, it examines how the US government, US military, and their partners in the American voluntary sector responded to major catastrophes around the world. Focusing on US responses to sudden disasters caused by earthquakes, tropical storms, and floods—crises commonly known as "natural disasters"—historian Julia F. Irwin highlights the complex and messy politics of emergency humanitarian relief. Deftly weaving together diplomatic, environmental, military, and humanitarian histories, Irwin tracks the rise of US disaster aid as a tool of foreign policy, showing how and why the US foreign policy establishment first began contributing aid to survivors of international catastrophes. While the book focuses mainly on bilateral assistance efforts, it also assesses the broader international context in which the US government and its auxiliaries operated, situating their humanitarian responses against the aid efforts of other nations, empires, and international organizations. At its most fundamental level, Catastrophic Diplomacy demonstrates the importance of international disaster assistance—and humanitarian aid more broadly—to US foreign affairs. Julia F. Irwin, PhD, Yale University, 2009, is professor of history at Louisiana State University. Her research focuses on the place of humanitarian aid in twentieth-century U.S. foreign relations. Her first book, Making the World Safe: The American Red Cross and a Nation's Humanitarian Awakening (2013), is a history of U.S. international relief efforts during the World War I era; the dissertation on which it is based won the Betty M. Unterberger Dissertation Prize from the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hour 3 -  Nick Reed is live at Scramblers Diner for the Friday Road Show. Here's what he covers this hour: President Biden's administration rejected a request for federal disaster assistance from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine in response to the train derailment in East Palestine earlier this month.

A new study comparing California repeat offenders who posted bail with those who were let out with low or no cost under "Zero Bail" policies found that the latter group reoffended more often, more quickly and were accused of 200 times more violent crimes. ALSO -  The lovely Emily Johnson joins us: The spring market is here! There are quite a few buyers out there looking for a new home. If you're looking to buy or sell, give Emily a call today.

As wildfires rage in the Western U.S., why are some areas more prone to out of control fires than others?  Brandon explains the ecology of western forests and some of the management options to mitigate against these extreme events. We also discuss the growing impact of climate on these catastrophic fires and why the land management of a hundred years ago is making it harder for these landscapes to adapt to climate change.

“Your despair is real…. If you don't get the answers you want, appeal. Ask the right people and keep asking till you get to the right person.”  -Cherry Jochum   Episode Description:  Signed by President Jimmy Carter, Executive Order 12127 established the Federal Emergency Management Agency, widely known as FEMA, as the primary agency in charge of emergency management and civil defense. Among its many functions, FEMA also manages disaster assistance funds, from which many families and organizations have benefited. Still, in desperate times, many people can't help but ask why the process takes too long and what makes it complicated.    In this episode, we are joined by FEMA's Interagency Recovery Coordination Lead and Recovery Funding Advisor, Cherry Jochum to answer some of the questions that have puzzled many for years. Cherry explains the structure, function, and limitations of the agency and the roles that FEMA plays during a disaster. Jennifer and Cherry also talk about the behind-the-scenes before a declaration is approved, leveraging funds and every resource possible, and the responsibility of each community in leading their recovery. Securing funds during a disaster is really challenging, but your persistence will pay off. Don't give up just yet!

Stacey Shaw is an experienced attorney who has held various regulatory and legal roles at the Small Business Administration Office of Disaster Assistance and in Legal departments for financial services companies. She is a solutions-focused corporate generalist with a strong background in technology, privacy, and marketing. Stacey has led projects to implement matter management, contract lifecycle management, and data mapping and continuously leverages technology solutions to streamline processes within the Legal department. She was a co-presenter for the DocuSign “Capturing Customer Consent Online with a Single Click” webinar in May of 2020 and was also on a customer panel for the Thomson Reuters Annual Sales Meeting in February of 2019. Stacey is passionate about attorney wellness and is leading the new wellness initiative in the Dallas-Fort Worth Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel. In 2016, the American Bar Association conducted a study with the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation on lawyer impairment and found attorney experience issues with alcohol at a higher rate than other professions. The study also found attorneys experience significant mental health distress. This research highlights the need for more resources for lawyer assistance programs and a focus on attorney wellness. So why are we focused on this now? Over the last year during the pandemic, many attorneys experienced burnout and isolation, along with higher levels of stress and anxiety due to longer hours and no boundaries between work and home. Join Stacey Shaw this Wednesday for a LinkedIn LIVE conversation on how to work mindfulness into your daily routine at work and at home (or both if you work from home still). She will discuss the wellness initiative she started in the Dallas Fort Worth Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel and how she is combining CLE and wellness in the Legal Department. Stacey will go over practical tips you can use to start "working with wellness in mind."
