FEMa Information

Privately Owned Roads, Bridges and Docks
In the document “FEMA Assistance for North Carolinians” it describes that FEMA’s Housing Assistance program provides money to help repair or replace homes damaged by the disaster which includes privately owned roads, bridges, and docks – especially if those are the only access to their home. I’ve included a screenshot below.
 


 
USDA & Agriculture Assistance
I’ve included a postcard handout from the United States Department of Agriculture but I found that the USDA programs include expediting crop insurance payments – USDA has instructed crop insurance companies to expedite loss adjustments that are necessary to make payments, and to make payments within 30 days. The Farm Service Agency Call Center is available at 877-508-8364 and can help direct produces to available staff. The USDA has also issued flexibility and waivers at the request of North Carolina for nutrition assistance programs.
