As of November 7, 2011, the Town received a PA award of $4.6 million from the Alabama Emergency Management Agency (State), a FEMA grantee, for damages resulting from Hurricane Katrina, which occurred in August 2005. The award provided 100percent FEMA funding for debris removal activities, construction of a 5-year emergency berm, and repair to roads. The award consisted of large projects and 29 small projects.
