If the U.S. government shuts down on Sunday, it could affect everything from food aid programs to the city's federal employees and even the ongoing migrant crisis.
That’s because a major federal emergency management fund that’swould not be replenished. The fund covers projects like school and home rebuilds following tornados and hurricanes, with hundreds of millions of dollars bankrolling individual recovery efforts stemming from the worst disasters, such as Hurricane Ian last fall.
Additionally, a shutdown would block local fire departments from disaster preparedness funding, “halting first responder training, and jeopardizing access to grants for disaster and terrorism preparedness,” the White House noted in a release. In total, nearly 2,000 recovery projects across the U.S. and Puerto Rico would be impeded by a shutdown. New York represents more than a tenth of those projects , and has the third largest number of projects behind Florida and Louisiana .New Yorkers should keep an eye on the clock. The last federal shutdown, which was the longest in U.S. history, lasted 35 days, from Dec. 22, 2018 to Jan. 25, 2019.
