FEMA suspends 650 reconstruction projects due to low Disaster Relief Fund amid hurricane season.

FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund has run low for a second year amid hurricane season, resulting in the suspension of around 650 reconstruction projects across the US. While lifesaving and life-sustaining operations will continue to be funded, FEMA has prioritized ongoing disaster needs and immediate responses to new disasters, pending Congress's approval of additional funds. This situation is particularly significant in Santa Cruz County, California, which has experienced seven federally declared disasters since 2017.
