PEARL, Miss. - If your home was damaged by the March 24-25 tornadoes but you can live in it safely, FEMA may be able to provide up to $300 in one-time financial assistance to help with cleanup. This assistance is for eligible homeowners and renters.
You may qualify for FEMA assistance if you meet the following criteria:
* Your pre-disaster primary home must be in one of the six counties designated for Individual Assistance. The IA-designated counties are Carroll, Humphreys, Monroe, Montgomery, Panola and Sharkey
* Based on a FEMA inspection, your home has disaster damage; or if you are a renter, the inspection noted cleanup actions are needed or have already been done.
** If you have already cleaned up, save your receipts from any supplies, materials or paid help.
* The damage is not covered by your insurance.
* FEMA determines your disaster-damaged primary residence is safe to occupy.
