The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, announced on March 13 that three counties in Maine have been declared federal disaster areas. The areas were affected by a severe winter storm, snowstorm, and flooding during the period of January 26–28, 2015.

By issuing the declaration, federal funding becomes available to state, eligible tribal and local governments, and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the storms and flooding in Androscoggin, Cumberland, and York counties. Federal funding also is available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation measures statewide.
