An August 3, 2006 article entitled "Conn. Seeks Federal Aid for Damages Caused by June Rains" on InsuranceJournal.com indicates that Governor Jodi Rell is seeking reimbursement for 75% of recovery costs of about $2.2 million worth of damages due to the recent storms. While this is below the general state threshold of $4 million generally required for recovery, Governor Rell is reported as having said "This consideration of disaster aid by looking at significant 'localized impact' allows FEMA to provide assistance even when customary damage thresholds are not quite met in terms of statewide and county damage, as is the case in this situation.".
According to the article, there was $108,000 in damages in West Haven. FEMA reimbursements typically cover 75% of the damage estimates.
