Hi ppl. it always occurred to me that i thought what happens to that ppl who have a house destroied by hurricane. I mean those that didnt have an ensurerance cover.Here in Russia if a flood ruin ones house gov gives him a free flat in a block house, money to restore your house, it happens here all the time especially in siberia where ppl live along great rivers

 

Here in the U.S. the area can be declared a disaster area and there is help available for people who lost their house or had one damaged.
Just a few weeks ago here in Mississippi we had over 20 tornadoes go through the state. I think 9 or 10 counties were declared disaster areas.
The Red Cross always shows up but they usually cost more than they help.
There is always semi loads of goods donated to the people also. Clothes, food, furnishings.
The state or federal usually pays for most of the cleanup.

 

The above is available to people who have suffered.
If your home is damaged you will be provided a place to stay, mobile home, or rent on another home will be paid. Motel and hotel bills will be paid for 18 months or more.
DUA, Disaster unemployment assistance will be available if you lost your job to the storm.
You can be given $2000 for assistance.
Direct payment for generators, chainsaws, etc.
Home owners can be approved for up to $200,000 for home repair. Additional $40,000 available for auto damage.
Money will be given for medical, dental, funeral, transportation, moving, and storage.
Grants are available for people who do not have the money to rebuild.

There are many other benefits available.

 

Here locally when someone needs help after a fire, flood, or major storm their neighbors and area businesses pitch in to help. The last floods we had entire neighborhoods were under 4 feet of water and the day after the water was gone all of the people that weren't effected were out helping those that were clean up and rebuild. The last real hurricane knocked out power for weeks and neighbors would take turns using a generator just to keep food cold. Even in one of the largest cities in the world and top 4 in the US neighbors are willing to help neighbors when its needed.

 

Yes, Salvation Army does a much better job than the Red Cross.

 

We took a slight hit from Rita too, but it was just debris that had to be removed, and lost power for a week.

I wouldn't look for help from a govt agency.

 

When Katrina came through we lost power for a week and had a few trees blow down. We sat on the porch and watched it go over the top of us.
The big problem came from the people coming from the coast into other areas. Crime become a big problem.
18 months later there were still people living in motels and hotels with the government paying the bills.
Many had several motel and hotels rooms paid for and rented them out to drug dealers and prostitutes.
