FEMA to cover more than overtime for storm recovery in Danbury

There's still no word from the Federal Emergency Management Agency over how soon Greater Danbury area municipalities will get paid back for recovery efforts and clean up from the May macroburst.  Danbury Emergency Management coordinator Paul Estefan says this is the first time though that straight compensation is being funded for a disaster.  Danbury will also get money for overtime and to pay outside vendors.  Not including police and fire and other departments, Danbury spent about $500,000 on recovery efforts.  The vendors were brought in for tree removal and debris mulching.  There is some concern with timing for reimbursement  though, now that more tornadoes touched down in New York and Connecticut this week. FEMA is also busy in the Florence-ravaged Carolinas.
