After tornado comes federal disaster whirlwind

Grand Island Nebraska endured a June tornado on a 33 000 population town. Federal agencies led by FEMA poured aid with 150 officials from 15 agencies housing families distributing food stamps and loans while processing claims and rebuilding. Some residents waited months for aid and 240 remained homeless awaiting mobile home parks. Dean and Ann Rupp faced underinsurance and SBA gaps, while the Andersons lost rent support.

States share disaster relief costs under new formula

Federal officials adopted a 75-25 cost share for major disasters. Nebraska faced a clash over 25 percent local costs after Grand Island tornado damage. FEMA spokesman noted the shift aims for equity, with the split set to be decided by FEMA and the president for 1981.
