Specialists will be there to answer questions and help with applications for federal money to cover damage caused by August’sFEMA’s disaster assistance grants can help to pay for things like rebuilding or repairing your house, shipping materials to Alaska and replacing essential personal property — that might mean appliances, items needed for work and school or cars, provided that the damaged vehicle was your primary means of transportation.
“So if they’ve received something from our program, they’re not going to receive funding from FEMA for that same damage,” Zidek said. “But if our program didn’t address a particular need, or there’s a greater need that our program couldn’t cover, people could be eligible for that FEMA individual assistance.”
“Because FEMA level of assistance is twice what the state can provide, it can be some real substantial assistance for people,” he said. “The FEMA process is easier than it’s ever been in the past, and it’s really important that people do register.”To apply, residents will need a photo ID, proof of occupancy and insurance information.
