TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Following Hurricane Michael, Floridians face a December 10, deadline to apply for disaster assistance from both FEMA and the U.S Small Business Administration.
FEMA offers grants to qualified Floridians in 12 counties affected by the October 10th storm that caused widespread damage across the eastern Panhandle.
The grants can't duplicate insurance payments, but can help those who are under or uninsured.
"People should look at all their options. Obviously, you are going to look at whether you have flood insurance or damage insurance,"said Mary Regan. "Then, check out the different options like FEMA with the grants, and us with the low interest loans."
