We should all keep bumping this thread to compare notes as everyone starts to figure out what kind of resources they'll have available to them.

My parents flooded in Denham. Had minimal $40K flood insurance (mandated by bank because of home equity loan). Here’s whats happened so far:

FEMA insurance adjuster visited last Sunday & left a form to sign & fax authorizing a building advance of $5K. Don’t know when they’ll see the rest.

SBA Disaster Loan people called today to tell them they qualify, but said someone will call tomorrow with rates and amounts

FEMA disaster inspector called and will be out tomorrow. Since they have the flood insurance and qualify for SBA, I doubt they’ll see anything from Disaster Assistance.

Something also to note that I have not yet seen in any of these threads; if you receive any letter of denial or information from FEMA that you do not agree with, you, as the homeowner, have the right to appeal whatever determination FEMA has processed.

From talking to FEMA after the March flood in North Louisiana, people are denied and not notified for reasons as small as not initialing a certain pages or not including the correct information.

If you are unhappy with the amount of money that FEMA has given you, make an appeal and include all of your receipts showing the costs that you have incurred thus far. I know this sound trivial but I hope this helps.

My parents still haven't heard from a FEMA inspector yet. Everyday it just makes my dad more anxious. Keep trying to tell him they have soooo many applicants and that they will get to him soon.
