Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced that Bay County and other areas devastated by Hurricane Michael will get 100 percent federal reimbursement for 45 days of debris removal instead of just five. The extension is expected to save the county 85 million dollars. The county estimates that debris removal costs will reach 400 million dollars. To date, the county has removed 6.5 million cubic yards of debris and the county expects FEMA to cover 75 percent of the rest of the cost, while the county and the state will split the remaining 25 percent.
