President Barack Obama last Thursday declared that a major disaster had occurred in Maryland and ordered federal aid to supplement the state and local recovery efforts in areas struck by severe winter storms and snowstorms during the period of Feb 5–11.

Federal funding through the Public Assistance Program is available to eligible applicants on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the storms in Baltimore City and all counties except Worcester and Somerset.

The Maryland emergency Management Agency (MEMA) has scheduled an applicant briefing event on Wednesday, May 19, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Garrett County Health Department to assist local agencies interested in receiving funding.

You know the snow is piling up when you see the camouflage dump trucks, hummers and heavy equipment taking over the county roads over the past few days. The National Guard was mobilized to assist in the snow removal at Deep Creek Lake and on Garrett County’s roads. If you’ve been following the blog, you’ll know that we had 3 feet of the white stuff and well over 22 feet of snow for the year so far. Another storm system is making its way to the area today.
