Trump approves federal money for Palm Beach County’s Hurricane Dorian response
President Donald Trump approved a major disaster declaration for the State of Florida on Tuesday. The declaration makes federal dollars available to the state government, certain nonprofits and 12 counties including Palm Beach County.Lake Worth tallied a total of $2.7 million! Wonder where the disaster was due to Dorian.
During Frances, Jeanne and Wilma Lake Worth had millions in claims that could not be verified by the city. FEMA wanted proof for the $26 million and we got involved in a mess trying to prove our claims. The utility department, the biggest culprit, had lost invoices and documents and the city commission didn't feel we should be responsible to pay it all back due to those document losses from so many years ago. Millions are still owed back to FEMA from their original request.

didnt know dorian hit palm beach co let alone lake worth.talk about corruption
I didn't either!
Actually, there was considerable damage to the beach. Hauling that sand to replace the sand that was washed away is very expensive. With these frequently high windy days, I would think the loss of the beach is ongoing.
