On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed a supplemental disaster funding package for those affected by recent natural disasters, including the California wildfires.
The package delivers $81 billion in additional disaster relief.
“I’m pleased the House has passed the vital supplemental disaster relief that the communities affected by the fires need to get back on their feet,” said Congressman Mike Thompson (CA-05).
“This funding package that I’ve been pushing for grants the state of California’s funding that will help our communities get back on their feet. This will give the State and local communities the tools they need to rebuild infrastructure, businesses, and housing, and help individuals affected,” Thompson said.
He added, “I’ll continue to work with my House colleagues to ensure our community has all the resources necessary to fully recover from this disaster.”
Thompson’s district includes all or part of Contra Costa, Lake, Napa, Solano and Sonoma counties, areas hit hard by this year’s fires.
