KNOW THIS: FEMA is ONLY short term recovery. FEMA Trains all it's employees, temporary contractors the same. FEMA also trains your local city, county, parish, and state government Emergency Management agencies. This is why you will NEVER see the full recovery process on FEMA documents. This is why many of you will drop out of the recovery process and this is why MANY of you will lose your homes because of the delivery process and what is NOT said by FEMA.
We have several grassroots programs which can help you if you interact with them. Don't think for a moment recovery will come knocking on your door. You have to go out and make it happen.
We'll help you build your advocacy group as well as help you with becoming a positive change activist.
Some groups you might be interested in.
Proposed / Needed Groups:
Renters, your FEMA assistance is called Individual Assistance or IA. FEMA can and should offer you grants to replace some of the items you have lost. This is not a substitute for renters insurance and this is not going to make you whole again.
COVID-19 protections allow FEMA to conduct remote inspections from August 22, 2020 on. This will now require the homeowners and property owners to collect all the damage assessment information. Do homeowners have FEMA Verified Loss training? Not yet, but.
Today, November 29, 2020 and what you do this coming week will change how your disaster recovery unfolds. Those that know the state of Louisiana OCD-DRU are working the numbers while others are going to be penalized as with every disaster in state.
What do you need to follow when your disaster area is setup with federal taxpayer dollars for Public Assistance? You need to watch what is on your governments agenda for spending to make sure the PA funds go to more services for the citizens.
I have covered Verified Loss as well as eligibility determinations by FEMA. Now I will cover the appeals process posted by FEMA for other disasters such as Hurricane Laura DR-4559 8-28-2020.
To help educate how FEMA interacts with disaster victims I will share with you the order of events and as many resources that I can find that are funded and ready to assist you the disaster victim.
After Hurricane Gustav many had forgot about the HMGP offered by FEMA. By the time Isaac cleanup was over the window to apply for these disasters for elevation and acquisitions were over. Dont miss out on your opportunity to use grants to mitigate damage
FEMA has some great media information, but like all glossy handouts, its missing the actual end user experiences and feedback. We never find customer complaints and it's always missing information they just seem to not share with disaster victims.
After you have read part one this is the part that ties it all together. This is from our 2016 Floods and our experience with FEMA Grants and the Duplication of Benefits issue we all face when HUD CDBG-DR grants become available.
FEMA may have awarded you up to 30,000 in Individual and Households grants called IHP and they may have listed that this grant is for Home Repairs. Your letter will say home repairs and you might think everything in your home is repairable, right?
NOTE: If your state has not been setup, please view Louisiana for disaster recovery information.
