Still Waiting for FEMA in Texas and Florida After Hurricanes

[tavernier]

3. I am registered with FEMA in Florida Keys.

They have emailed me to tell me that the area in which I live is presently inaccessible, so they are unable to assess my needs.

First of all, no worries here for me because I am staying with my family close by and have everything I need, and my battered house and car (which drowned) are covered by insurance. I just registered with FEMA because I lost quite a bit on my property that wasn’t covered (shed, freezer, frig, tools), and since my husband passed in May, I have one SS income and could use some monetary assistance if possible to replace some of the loss.

However, there are many here in far worse straits having lost everything. It is very disorienting to look around and see nothing that you own or recognize, and then to hear someone say, “just go on your computer and register with FEMA.”
Really?
