FEMA assistance may include grants for temporary housing and emergency home repairs to make your home safe, accessible and secure. FEMA is unable to duplicate insurance payments. If you have a homeowners insurance policy, file your insurance claim before applying to FEMA. If you are underinsured, you may receive assistance after your insurance claims have been settled, as long as you apply by the deadline.
Even if you reported your damage to another agency or organization, you should still apply with FEMA if you want to be considered for federal disaster grants and U.S. Small Business Administration low-interest disaster loans.
To apply for assistance:
- Visit DisasterAssistance.gov.
- Call 800-621-3362 (TTY 800-462-7585). Operators are multilingual and calls are answered 7 a.m. to
11 p.m. EDT, seven days a week.
- Use the FEMA App.
Shelby Township participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) which enables township property owner’s access to federally backed flood insurance protection. As of October, 2011 property owners are entitled to a 15% discount on flood insurance premiums due to Shelby’s participation in the Community Rating System (CRS) with a Class 7 rating. Property owners are encouraged to inform their insurance company of Shelby’s CRS rating to insure a discount is received (see certification on right).
