I live in an HOA in South Florida. I had to pay for debris to be hauled away. Hauling away of debris is covered under most insurance plans, but trying not to get noticed by insurance so I don't get canceled. I don't agree with our city's plan to bill FEMA. I believe in paying taxes and I believe in getting services from the government, but I don't think we should use FEMA money for debris removal except for clearance of electrical lines or other emergencies. We need to preserve FEMA for catastrophes like Maria, Harvey. We should pay for debris removal out of local funds and local taxes. I know others feel different on the subject.
