3 Federal disaster assistance Critical needs assistance: When individuals register with FEMA, they should let FEMA know if they have critical or emergency needs and that they are requesting financial help to cover those needs and expenses. For example, FEMA could offer a one-time payment of $500 per household as financial assistance for critical needs. Emergency lodging: If you are a disaster survivor and are in need of emergency lodging, FEMA offers Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA) for a limited period of time. For more information about participating hotels or motels, you can refer to FEMA s TSA website at femaevachotels.com. FEMA Individuals and Households Program (IHP) Assistance: The IHP Assistance program provides financial assistance and direct services to eligible individuals and households who have uninsured or underinsured necessary expenses and serious needs in two (2) main categories: Housing Assistance and Other Needs Assistance (ONA) (such as childcare, medical and dental expenses). For information on the IHP Assistance program and eligibility requirements, please refer to FEMA s Individuals and Households Program Fact Sheet at fema.gov/media-library-data/ a a7ded53f0b22315f2597/FACTSHEETIndividualsandHouseholdIHP.pdf. Qualifying for FEMA assistance: There are certain conditions to be met in order to qualify or be eligible for FEMA assistance. To find out about the types of assistance offered by FEMA and its eligibility requirements, please refer to the Individuals and Households Program Unified Guidance at fema.gov/ media-library-data/ b6eebf9fbbd7c8a070fddb308971/femaihpug_ CoverEdit_December2016.pdf. Duplication of benefits: It is important to provide accurate insurance information to avoid a duplication of FEMA assistance. Note that by law, FEMA cannot give assistance for losses addressed by insurance coverage or other sources. Deadlines: Sign up for FEMA bulletins to avoid missing registration deadlines at fema.gov/fema-bulletin. Disaster unemployment assistance: People who have lost their jobs or had their work hours substantially reduced because of a disaster and are not eligible for regular state unemployment benefits can try to see if they are eligible for Disaster Unemployment Assistance, which provides temporary unemployment benefits. This program also covers people who are self-employed or do not have enough work history to get regular state benefits. For more information, visit disasterassistance.gov/ disaster-assistance/forms-of-assistance/4466/0/d05. U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster assistance loans: The SBA is a government agency that offers low-interest, long-term loans for losses not fully covered by insurance or other means. There are two programs offered by the SBA: Business Disaster Loans up to $2 million and Home and Property Disaster Loans up to $200,000. Get more information on both SBA programs at disasterloan.sba.gov/ela. 3
4 U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency (FSA) Disaster Assistance Programs: The FSA offers nine (9) programs that provide grants or loans to impacted owners and producers. There are different qualification requirements for each program. For more information, refer to the FSA s Disaster Assistance Fact Sheet at fsa.usda.gov/assets/ USDA-FSA-Public/usdafiles/FactSheets/archived-fact-sheets/fsa_disaster_assistance_ programs_at_a_glance_march2017.pdf.

Immediately report your loss to your insurance company or insurance agent. Be vigilant about following up until you receive a claim/loss number. Review your insurance policy with your insurance agent. Follow the steps to submit a claim. Create a list of damaged items, itemizing the damages in as much detail as possible. Prepare for a site visit from your Insurance Adjuster. During the visit, walk your Adjuster around your property, pointing out all areas of damage and asking how the policy s terms will be applied. Flooding Important considerations to deal with flooding: You should report your loss immediately to your insurance agent or insurance carrier. If you need assistance in finding your carrier, call FEMA (3362) or visit disasterassistance.gov. Confirm your available coverage through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) insurance claim process. Once you ve contacted your carrier, an Adjuster should call you within hours. When reporting your claim, have on hand your policy declarations page, if available, and the name of your mortgage company(s). Visit fema.gov/flood-claim-appeals-and-guidance to learn more about appealing an NFIP claim. Key information on mold and remediation can found at epa.gov/mold and cdc.gov/mold/cleanup.htm. 4
5 Wildfires Insurance after wildfire: How is it different? Insurance usually covers wildfires. Standard homeowners policies generally help protect against specific perils or certain causes of loss, such as theft and fire. However, coverage may vary by geographic location and by policy. Insurance adjusters will most likely pay for the cost of cleaning visible smoke and ash. Have qualified experts do the inspection, testing, cleaning and restoration of all damaged property. Use common sense when deciding what property should be cleaned and if it s possible to have it cleaned to its pre-loss condition. Otherwise, make a claim for replacement of the property. Retain a qualified Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) to test for evidence of smoke, soot, char and contaminates. Repairs should return a property to a uniform and consistent appearance even if that means replacing undamaged items. Rebuilding and contractor selection Contractor selection and construction project management: Selecting a contractor and overseeing repair work or rebuilding project work can be daunting if you are not familiar with the process. Below are basic steps to get started and important considerations: Decide what your needs are based on the extent of the repair or rebuilding work involved. Review portfolios of project managers and see if they have partnerships with local contractors. Verify credentials via state-run websites or national associations like the American Institute of Architects. Make sure any contractor you consider is licensed, insured and bonded. (Your insurance company may have an approved list of contractors.) Evaluate the general contractor s response time; if their communication is slow in selling the job, it will likely be slow during construction. Meet with the contractor face-to-face to walk them through the site and identify any concerns. Collect multiple bids to compare costs and the scope of work the contractors have identified. Determine which contractor is best suited to meet the project goals you have laid out. Consider: Does the contractor have the capacity to complete your project in your specified timeframe? Consider hiring a forensic expert to assess damages such as structural failures. Forensic information provides objective, scientific analyses that can be helpful in resolving insurance disputes. Secure a good builder as quickly as possible to stay ahead of the demand for construction services. Consider hiring a construction manager. These professionals will represent your interests and provide expert feedback on the quality of work on a job. Report any suspected disaster-related fraud to federal and state authorities. Before entering contract negotiating on a home renovation, download and review the National Association of Home Builders Residential Construction Performance Guidelines to gain a better understanding of how to communicate with your contractor. flippingbook/pdf/rcpg_4e contractor/r/c/rcpg_4th_ed-contractor_final4.pdf. 5
