Disaster Assistance Tops $23.5 Million in St. Tammany Parish

Hurricane Isaac Three Months Later: Adding Up the Recovery in Louisiana

BATON ROUGE, La. – In the nearly three months since Hurricane Isaac thrashed Louisiana, recovery has progressed for survivors, businesses and communities.

Below is a snapshot from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) of the state and federal assistance dollars approved to date and some milestones reached since the Aug. 29 disaster declaration:

$370.2 million The FEMA-administered National Flood Insurance Program has paid $370,243,578 on claims from policyholders in Louisiana.

$365.3 million Eligible Louisianians and their communities have been approved for state and federal assistance totaling $365,265,362.

$116.7 million FEMA and the state have approved $116,699,418 in disaster assistance for Louisianians through FEMA’s Individuals and Households Program, which helps eligible applicants with emergency home repairs; uninsured personal property losses; and medical, dental and funeral expenses caused by the disaster. It also helps cover other disaster-related expenses.

$135.3 million The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has approved $135,263,200 in low-interest disaster loans for homeowners, renters and businesses throughout the disaster area.

$113.2 million FEMA has obligated $113,230,302 to cover 75 percent of the costs incurred by the state and local communities for repairs to storm-damaged infrastructure, removal of storm-related debris and for measures taken to protect people before, during and after the hurricane – including search and rescue, law enforcement, shelters and emergency care.

198,808 A total of 198,808 Louisianians have registered for disaster assistance in the 26 parishes designated for Individual Assistance.

138,553 FEMA housing inspectors have completed 138,553 home inspections, an important first step in determining eligibility for housing assistance.

117,540 Survivors at 117,540 homes, schools, and community- and faith-based organizations were contacted by the more than 300 FEMA Community Relations (CR) specialists who responded to Hurricane Isaac. The CR teams visited parishes designated for Individual Assistance, providing information, and answering survivors’ questions in neighborhoods, at Disaster Recovery Centers, and at points of distribution and shelters early in the response. They also reported critical issues in real-time for immediate action.

$72,442 Workers who have lost their jobs or those who are self-employed and unable to provide their services because of Hurricane Isaac have received $72,442 in Disaster Unemployment Assistance.

40,486 Storm survivors numbering 40,486 have visited Disaster Recovery Centers since the first one opened Sept. 1, just one day after the Individual Assistance designation. Forty recovery centers operated in 23 parishes after the Aug. 29 disaster declaration. Centers remain open in St. John and Jefferson parishes.

24,618 FEMA Mitigation specialists have provided advice and tips on how to repair and rebuild safer and stronger homes to 24,618 Louisianians at recovery centers, home improvement stores, and fairs and festivals.

2,294 During the 10 weeks of the Transitional Sheltering Assistance program, 2,294 storm survivors participated. The program allowed eligible evacuees from Hurricane Isaac whose neighborhoods were not accessible or whose houses were severely damaged or lacked utilities to stay in a hotel or motel on an emergency basis. FEMA paid the hotel for the cost of the room and taxes.

1,753 FEMA specialists numbering 1,753 deployed from around the United States to help Louisiana respond to and recover from Hurricane Isaac. FEMA teams continue to work with whole community partners to advance the recovery effort and mitigate against future hazards.

300 More than 300 AmeriCorps and Senior Corps members served in Louisiana starting in the days before Hurricane Isaac made landfall. They assisted in shelters, volunteer centers and neighborhoods, and helped survivors and communities clean up and rebuild after the storm.

150 More than 150 voluntary agencies have called upon their volunteers, some from throughout the United States, to provide one-on-one help to Isaac survivors in a range of programs and services. A number of the agencies will be part of the long-term recovery effort, working to meet the needs of hurricane survivors that go beyond state and federal assistance dollars.

99 FEMA Corps’ first cadre of 99 young adults joined the Hurricane Isaac response in October under their first assignment with the new program. Aimed at enhancing the nation’s ability to assist disaster survivors while expanding career opportunities for young people, FEMA Corps is a unique partnership between FEMA and the Corporation for National and Community Service and AmeriCorps.

55 A total of 55 Louisiana parishes are designated for assistance under FEMA’s Public Assistance Grant Program: Acadia, Allen, Ascension, Assumption, Avoyelles, Beauregard, Bossier, Caddo, Caldwell, Cameron, Catahoula, Claiborne, Concordia, East Carroll, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Evangeline, Franklin, Iberia, Iberville, Jackson, Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Lafayette, Lafourche, La Salle, Lincoln, Livingston, Madison, Morehouse, Natchitoches, Orleans, Ouachita, Plaquemines, Point Coupee, Rapides, Richland, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. Helena, St. James, St. John, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Tensas, Terrebonne, Union, Vermillion, Washington, West Baton Rouge, West Carroll and West Feliciana.

26 A total of 26 parishes have been designated for aid under the Individuals and Households Program.

9 The SBA opened nine Business Recovery Centers in six parishes, where customer service representatives and counselors met one on one with business owners who sustained property damage and economic loss as a result of Hurricane Isaac.

3 It has been nearly three months since Hurricane Isaac battered Louisiana.

Survivors in Louisiana affected by Hurricane Isaac can apply for disaster assistance until the Nov. 29 deadline.

New Yorkers Warned to Watch Out for Post-Disaster Scam Artists

NEW YORK – As many New Yorkers work to recover from Hurricane Sandy, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials are warning of another danger: Phony building contractors and other scam artists often appear in communities struggling to recover from a disaster.

“In times of crisis, New Yorkers pull together,” said Federal Coordinating Officer Michael F. Byrne. “However, some people will try to take advantage of vulnerable survivors. We strongly recommend that folks take a few simple steps to make sure they’re dealing with an honest person.”

Here are a few of the most common post-disaster fraud practices:

Phony housing inspectors: If home damage is visible from the street, an owner/applicant may be especially vulnerable to the phony housing inspector who claims to represent FEMA or the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). An applicant should ALWAYS:

Ask to see the inspector’s identification badge if he or she does not offer to show it. A FEMA or SBA shirt or jacket is not proof of someone’s affiliation with the government. All federal employees and contractors carry official, laminated photo identification.
Do not give bank account numbers to an inspector claiming to be affiliated with the federal government. FEMA inspectors never require banking information.

It is important to note that FEMA housing inspectors verify damage, but do not hire or endorse specific contractors to fix homes or recommend repairs. They do not determine your eligibility for assistance.

Fraudulent building contractors: Damage visible from the street also can bring out fraudulent contractors who visit an applicant’s home offering to begin work immediately. When hiring a contractor:

Use licensed local contractors backed by reliable references, get a written estimate from at least three contractors, including the cost of labor and materials, and read the fine print.
Demand that contractors carry general liability insurance and workers’ compensation. If he or she is not insured, you may be liable for accidents that occur on your property.

Bogus pleas for post-disaster donations: Unscrupulous solicitors may play on the sympathy for disaster survivors. They know that many people want to help others in need. Disaster aid solicitations may arrive by phone, email, letter or face-to-face visits. Verify legitimate solicitation:

Ask for the charity’s exact name, street address, phone number, and web address, then phone the charity directly and confirm that the person asking for funds is an employee or volunteer.
Don’t pay with cash — instead, pay by check made out to the charity in case funds must be stopped later.•Request a receipt with the charity’s name, street address, phone number and web address (if applicable). Legitimate nonprofit agencies routinely provide receipts for tax purposes.

Fake offers of state or federal aid: Beware if anyone claiming to be from FEMA or the state visits, calls or emails asking for an applicant’s Social Security number, bank account number or other sensitive information. Beware — that information may be sold to identity thieves or used to defraud. A twist on this scam is the phone or in-person solicitor who promises to speed up the insurance, disaster assistance or building-permit process. Then there are scam artists who promise a disaster grant and ask for large cash deposits or advance payments in full. Here’s what to do:

Know that federal and state workers do not solicit or accept money. FEMA and SBA staff never charge applicants for disaster assistance, inspections or help in filling out applications. If in doubt, do not give out information, and report people claiming to be government workers to local police.
Provide your Social Security number and banking information only when registering for FEMA assistance, either by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362), TTY 1-800-462-7585, or going online at www.disasterassistance.gov or via a web-enabled phone at m.fema.gov. If you use 711-Relay or Video Relay Services, call 1-800-621-3362.

If you suspect someone is perpetrating fraud, call the FEMA Disaster Fraud Hotline at 1-866-720-5721. Complaints may also be made to local law enforcement agencies and to the New York State Attorney General’s office in New York at 212-416-8300 or go to their web site at: www.ag.ny.gov.
Disaster survivors who have any questions can call FEMA’s toll-free helpline at 1-800-621-3362.

New Yorkers Warned to Watch Out for Post-Disaster Scam Artists

Letter From FEMA is the Starting Point

LINCROFT, N.J. — After registering with FEMA, disaster survivors receive a letter from FEMA concerning the status of their application. The letter is a starting point about whether or not the applicant will receive disaster assistance.

Applicants should read the letter carefully. Even if the letter says that you are ineligible, the reason might simply be that you have not provided all the information or documentation required. It does not necessarily mean “case closed.” When applicable, the letter explains what additional information is needed or how to appeal a decision that you do not qualify for assistance.

Ask for help if you don’t understand the letter. Call the helpline at 800-621-FEMA (3362) or TTY 800-462-7585 or visit a Disaster Recovery Center where you can talk with a FEMA representative about your particular situation.

To find the nearest center, log on to www.fema.gov/drclocator.

You may not have qualified for financial help right away, but that decision may change if you submit additional documents. Some of the reasons for an initial ineligible decision can be that you:

Have not submitted a settlement or denial determination from your insurance company.
Did not provide FEMA with all the information needed to process your application.
Have not provided proof of ownership or occupancy.
Did not provide records that showed the damaged property was your primary residence at the time of the disaster.
Did not sign essential documents.

FEMA can never duplicate assistance from insurance or other government sources, but FEMA may be able to cover some of your uninsured losses.

Providing the requested information or taking the required actions outlined in the letter might change FEMA’s determination. The letter also explains how to appeal a determination. Appeals must be filed within 60 days of the date of the ineligible decision.

Remember: the letter from FEMA is a starting point. You should:

Read the letter carefully.
Ask questions and ask for help.
Tell FEMA if you think the decision is incorrect. You have the right to ask FEMA to reconsider the decision.

This video, http://www.fema.gov/medialibrary/media_records/6486 gives more information about how to appeal a FEMA determination.

Disaster Recovery Centers Open in New York

NEW YORK – The Federal Emergency Management Agency has 30 Disaster Recovery Centers in New York to assist survivors of Hurricane Sandy.

TRENTON, N.J.– A toll-free hotline, 1-888-541-1900, is now available for New Jersey survivors facing legal issues because of Hurricane Sandy. Disaster survivors with storm-related legal issues can call the hotline to request free legal assistance.

The office will be staffed from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday by members of the Young Lawyers Division of the New Jersey Bar Association. Voice messages can be left when the office is not staffed.

The type of legal assistance available includes:

Assistance with replacing legal documents that may have been lost due to flooding.
Assistance with life, medical and property insurance-related claims.
Assistance in consumer protection matters, remedies, and procedures.
Counseling on mortgage-foreclosure problems.
Counseling on landlord/tenant problems.
Creditor-debtor matters.
FEMA appeals.

Callers will be interviewed to determine what help they need and then will be matched with a volunteer attorney who can provide assistance or general legal information regarding their issue.

When calling, survivors should make clear that they are seeking legal assistance related to Hurricane Sandy.

The hotline is part of a long-standing partnership between FEMA and the American Bar Association.
