The Federal Emergency Management Agency has approved more than $62 million in funding for disaster recovery, hazard mitigation and infrastructure resilience projects in Washington.

The largest share, more than $34.6 million through FEMA's Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program, will support construction of the North Shore Levee West, a 4.7-mile flood protection system in Hoquiam. The project is designed to protect homes, businesses, government facilities and other critical infrastructure from future flooding.

FEMA also approved $16.6 million in Public Assistance funding for disaster-related infrastructure repairs and emergency protective measures. Projects include more than $2.1 million for permanent repairs to the Jones Road Box Culvert in Lewis County following severe storms, flooding, landslides and mudslides between December 2020 and January 2021.

Additional Public Assistance funding will support repairs to embankments, catch basins, culverts and riprap damaged during Washington's November 2022 winter storms and flooding.

The agency also approved more than $2.8 million through its Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and nearly $8.4 million for Washington's Disaster Case Management services following flooding in December 2025.
