What Grants are there out there through Federal government, to help these SE. MN Flood victoms, Total losses?

Question

We have had total City's wipped off the maps or nearly here in SE. MN from the 16 inches of rain in 20 hours 2 weeks ago, about the same time hurricane Dean was headed for Cancoon. Its a Federal Disaster, but the money to be recieved from Feds will be way late for everyone.

The FEMA group is very, very slow and seem to have poor plans overall. The Red Cross is so wipped out from days on days of help in areas not able to be in for humans, with all the sewage and water knocked out of each of these many city's, We just knocked down 95 houses yesterday in 1 city alone with many more to come with total losses.

Does anyone have accurate info on some of the federal Loans and grannts to get these people a life back sooner, not when the snow and ice come

Federal Disaster will only give these people Up To $28,000 dollars for all there losses, Most lost 150-300-k dollar houses and all their cars, clothes everything they owned as the floods hit in middle of the night. Info PLSE

Answer 1

All you can do is contact FEMA & wait to see if you will get any help & get supplies from the red cross.

Answer 2

If the Federal government declares it a disaster area, FEMA money becomes available. It's hard to get a grant, but easier to get a loan.

Answer 3

As long as the President has declared it a Disaster area, you should be getting help as soon as it comes available.  Your biggest problem will be getting the people to do the work.  It takes time.  Being from Florida, I'm well versed on the time it can take.   One thing you can count on is that if you didn't have flood insurance you will get jack c**p out of the insurance companies.
