New York: By the Numbers – 41

Disaster Assistance May be Available for HVAC Systems

AURORA, Ill. – The summer cooling season has arrived in Illinois and those in areas affected by the April 16 to May 5 storms may be eligible for repair or replacement of heating, ventilation and cooling systems (HVAC) if they were damaged or destroyed by flooding and were not covered by insurance.

“FEMA’s mission includes ensuring that all homes affected by the flooding are habitable,” said W. Michael Moore, federal coordinating officer for the disaster. “In order for homes to be habitable, furnaces and central air conditioning systems must be in good working order.”

Federal disaster assistance may cover the cleaning and testing of a flood-damaged HVAC system and replacement if the unit was destroyed because of storms during the incident period. To be considered, Illinois residents must first register for assistance from FEMA by the Tuesday, July 9 deadline.

Those who discover their HVAC system needs repair or replacement after they already received a FEMA grant for this disaster that did not include money to repair their HVAC system can file an appeal for additional disaster funds. However, the appeal must be made within 60 days of the date of the original grant or determination letter.

When filing an appeal, survivors must submit a letter requesting additional funds and a verifiable estimate or an itemized receipt by a contractor that states that the estimate or actual cost paid is not an upgrade, that the repair was necessary to make the home habitable and is disaster related.

Applicants may be eligible for costs related to the repair or replacement of the furnaces, including the cost for labor. If the furnace is located on the ground-level floor or basement, FEMA encourages the applicant to elevate the unit.

Low interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration also cover repairs to HVAC systems. Disaster survivors with insurance should not wait for an insurance settlement before applying to the SBA. If survivors do not know how much of their loss will be covered by insurance or other sources, the SBA will consider making a loan for the total loss up to its loan limits, provided the borrower agrees to use insurance proceeds to reduce or repay their SBA loan.

It is important that anyone receiving an SBA disaster loan application complete and return it. Returning the application does not obligate you to accept an SBA loan; however, it is a necessary step to be considered for other additional forms of federal disaster assistance.

It is not necessary to visit a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) to register with FEMA. Individuals can register online at www.disasterassistance.gov or via web-enabled phone at m.fema.gov. Applicants may also call 800-621-3362 or (TTY) 800-462-7585. People who use 711-Relay or Video Relay Services (VRS) can call 800-621-3362. For more information visit the Illinois Disaster website www.fema.gov/disaster/4116.

Multilingual phone operators are available on the FEMA helpline. Choose Option 2 for Spanish and Option 3 for other languages.

The deadline to register for FEMA disaster assistance is Tuesday, July 9.

No Coverage for Damaged Wells and Septic Systems? Try FEMA or SBA

AURORA, Ill. – Homeowners may be eligible for disaster assistance for repairs to private wells and septic systems damaged or contaminated by the spring storms between April 16 and May 5.

The damaged well must be the sole source of water for the home to be eligible for FEMA assistance. The repairs must also not be covered by insurance. FEMA cannot duplicate benefits.

If additional repairs or replacement prove necessary after a FEMA inspector has visited, homeowners can choose to have the repairs made and get a verifiable receipt, or written estimate of repair costs including parts and labor. The receipt or estimate from a contractor needs to state that the estimate or actual cost paid is not an upgrade and that the repair was necessary to make the home habitable.

Homeowners who recently discovered damage to their well water or septic systems may call the FEMA Helpline, even if a housing inspector has already visited the home, at 1-800-621-3362 or TTY 1-800-462-7585. Users of 711 Relay or Video Relay Services should also call 1-800-621-3362.

Multilingual operators are available. Press 2 for Spanish or 3 for other languages.

Applicants also can update information online at www.disasterassistance.gov.

A confirmation inspection may be needed to verify the necessary work. FEMA will determine how much reimbursement will be made to the applicant.

Low interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) also cover repairs to septic systems and wells. Disaster survivors with insurance should not wait for an insurance settlement before applying to the SBA. If survivors do not know how much of their loss will be covered by insurance or other sources, the SBA will consider making a loan for the total loss up to its loan limits, provided the borrower agrees to use the insurance proceeds to reduce or repay their SBA loan.

Los solicitantes también pueden llamar al 1-800-621-3362 o al (TTY) 1-800-462-7585. Si usted usa el servicio 711 o el servicio de transmisión de video, debe llamar al 1-800-621-3362.

Aquí en Oklahoma, los especialistas en Asistencia Individual trabajan junto con sus pares del estado para prestar asistencia a los residentes en sus esfuerzos de recuperación. Recomiendan especialmente a los residentes que sean prácticos, proactivos y realistas durante su recuperación de los recientes tornados y tormentas.
Con el objetivo de ayudar en la recuperación, los funcionarios de FEMA y Oklahoma ofrecen los siguientes consejos y estrategias para las personas que enfrentan una nueva realidad como consecuencia del desastre:
• No espere. Los solicitantes deben comunicarse con sus agentes de seguros tan pronto como sea posible.
• Inscríbase en FEMA, incluso si tiene seguro. Una vez inscrito, el solicitante tiene la opción de recibir ayuda del estado o federal, especialmente si su seguro es insuficiente.
• No existen las varitas mágicas. La asistencia por desastre que brinda el gobierno solamente cubre las necesidades básicas. Normalmente no cubre el total de las pérdidas de los individuos.
• Los préstamos por desastre de bajo interés de la Administración de Pequeños Negocios (SBA, por sus siglas en inglés) de EE.UU. son una importante fuente de financiación para la recuperación. La solicitud de préstamo por desastre de la SBA se debe completar y enviar. No se obligará a nadie a aceptar un préstamo que no quiere, pero la información incluida en la solicitud es necesaria para determinar si reúne los requisitos para recibir otro tipo de asistencia federal.
• Se ha abierto un Centro de Recuperación por Desastre en Norman; pronto se abrirán más. Los residentes de Oklahoma afectados por las recientes tormentas y tornados severos ahora pueden visitar un Centro de Recuperación por Desastre. El centro es un lugar al que los sobrevivientes pueden acudir para encontrar información sobre asistencia por desastre estatal, federal o de otro tipo. Se encuentra ubicado en el condado de Cleveland en la escuela primaria Little Axe Elementary School, 2000 168th Ave. NE, Norman, OK 73026. El horario de atención es de 9.00am a 7.00pm hasta nuevo aviso.
• Los fondos que reciben los solicitantes SOLO pueden ser utilizados para gastos designados relacionados con el desastre. Esto se exige estrictamente. Cuando el dinero se entrega a los solicitantes, estos también reciben información acerca de cómo pueden utilizar el dinero y en qué no pueden gastarlo.
• Manténgase en contacto con FEMA durante todo el proceso de recuperación. Asegúrese de que FEMA cuente con información de contacto vigente, incluso una dirección y un número de teléfono. Los solicitantes también pueden verificar el estado de su solicitud en www.disasterassistance.gov/espanol.
• La recuperación del desastre lleva tiempo. Los desastres son eventos sumamente destructivos y ayuda tener expectativas realistas con respecto a lo que se puede hacer y cuánto tiempo lleva.
