For those who will legitimately need this assistance, this is indeed good news!

Probably gonna take a while to get any assistance from Fema I just checked the web site and they haven't updated there, wonder if they know we've been approved (lol). Looks like October may be a month of money for this area, wonder how we're gonna have to pay that back, sounds like a new tax to me.

Thanks I do see us on the map but if you click on the individual assistance tab it still says no individual assistance avaliable. Not a big deal to me I'm sure I wouldn't qualify for it any way. LOL

Really just wanted to see what all they were going to be doing.

"...welcome news for those who still need help getting back on their feet following the severe flooding caused by the news.” Didn't know the news could cause flooding. We do live in dangerous times! And I didn't realize flooding was the main problem caused by the hurricane - thought it was the thousands of trees falling everywhere, especially on people's homes.

I wonder what this will pay for

I had refugees from New Orleans here for a week, reckon I'll get compensation for that?

I had to pick up limbs, will I get paid for that, and my grass was killed by the pile, which is still there, will FEMA pay to resod my yard? hhhmmm.. what else can I conjure up........

not that I will but you know some people will play this out for everything they can get, and that is what's wrong with our gov't, paying out too much for crybabies

Fema-1) Will only give assissant for damages cause by the hurricane for property & car damage only...By covering your insurance costs that are not payed out or cover all if you don't have any insurance. A Small Business Loan my be offered @ 2%-5% pay back on any amount. 2) State of Mississippi - Can offer food stamps to all citizens who lost food due to power outages cause by the hurricane. 3) Just a note: Go on line to apply..you might be eligible for funds that are for tax paying citizens.

Adams County, Catahoula Parish and just about every other county and parish around here - besides Concordia Parish!?!?! We must just be invincible since there was devastation all around us. Or are we just - being overlooked?
