The Federal Emergency Management Agency money is beginning to flow.
So far, officials for the Federal Emergency Management Agency have handed out $14.4 million to flood survivors, they say. The money is for residents and business owners who suffered property damage during the Jan. 22 floods. In particular, it is for people whose property was uninsured or “under insured,” as The Federal Emergency Management Agency officials put it.
At least, 5,500 people have applied for assistance. It’s unclear how several of them have received The Federal Emergency Management Agency money.
After a person applies for The Federal Emergency Management Agency assistance, officials send out an inspector to verify property damage. So far, The Federal Emergency Management Agency officials have inspected 4,200 properties.
On average, The Federal Emergency Management Agency officials have been paying out between $4,000 and $6,000 per property, they said. The cap on assistance per household is $42,500.
One key step: A The Federal Emergency Management Agency spokesman told Voice of San Diego that some applications are denied because residents fail to schedule inspection appointments. It’s a key step in getting assistance. Residents can appeal the agency’s decision.
