Detroit Flood Assistance Deadline Extended
In the wake of the floods that occurred across Metro Detroit in mid-August of this year, Governor Rick Snyder has been able to grant an elongated period of assistance for those suffering from damages.
The federal system has approved an extension period for those who have not sought out assistance or applied for help, since the August 11th floods. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has now pushed the deadline date to December 14th, 2014 after a strict enforcement to have the issues put into the system before the holidays.
The floods that hit Metro Detroit caused Governor Snyder to place Macomb, Wayne, and Oakland Counties under a state of emergency and disaster plan, since more than 6 inches of rain fell onto the surrounding cities at a rapid pace. All of these counties experienced flood damaging to thousands of homes, mostly affecting basements and foundational issues for residents and families. So far, Michigan has estimated that the costs of current and future repairs will go up into the millions.
The Government Wants You To Ask For Help
FEMA is urging anyone who has experienced flooding issues due to these storms, especially in their basements, to apply for assistance and help. Over 110,000 residents have already applied for the assistance, but FEMA and Governor Snyder knows there are still thousands more who have not put in their paperwork. Nearly $120 million has been handed out to those who have asked, and FEMA has implied that more can be on the way, if assistance is necessary.
