RSA 21-P:37-d Disaster Relief Assistance for Municipalities.

I. When the President of the United States declares an area a federal disaster area and a municipality has applied for federal emergency assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), the municipality may apply to the division of homeland security and emergency management for state aid in an amount not to exceed 50 percent of the non-federal share of projects eligible for costs relating to public assistance disaster grants and hazard mitigation grants. For approved applications, the division, with the approval of the fiscal committee of the general court, the governor, and the executive council, shall disburse aid to the municipality. The governor is authorized to draw a warrant for said sum out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated.
