We have friends who have a second home on the west coast of FL - it was flooded severely during Hurricane Ian, they rebuilt, and now it's being targeted again with this hurricane. I'm wondering how on earth they live with that anxiety and uncertainty all the time! And yes, I'm sick of federal dollars being used again and again on bailing the same communities out. Enough.

Well "the hurricane belt" now includes Asheville NC.

So I guess we stop building everywhere from Florida all the way up to New Jersey/New York, which have also been damaged by hurricanes. BTW, that includes DC area which has also been hit.

The DC metro area is not nearly as vulnerable to hurricanes. The expected annual loss per $100 of building value (due to natural disasters) is relatively low. The EAL for Fairfax County is around 4 cents per $100, Loudoun County 2.4 cents per $100. In Hillsborough County FL, (where Tampa is located) the EAL is around 21 cents per $100. Many places with high EAL's will eventually become uninsurable and the property markets will crash because uninsurable properties are not edible for mortgages. There are numerous places in the US where EALs equal 0.5% or more per year and some places even have EALs in excess of 1% of the building value each year. https://hazards.fema.gov/nri/map

Rumor: FEMA will ONLY provide $750 to disaster survivors to support their recovery.

Fact: This is false. This is a type of assistance that you may be approved for soon after you apply, called Serious Needs Assistance. It is an upfront, flexible payment to help cover essential items like food, water, baby formula, breastfeeding supplies, medication and other emergency supplies. There are other forms of assistance that you may qualify for to receive and Serious Needs Assistance is an initial payment you may receive while FEMA assesses your eligibility for additional funds. As your application continues to be reviewed, you may still receive additional forms of assistance for other needs such as support for temporary housing, personal property and home repair costs. If you have questions about your disaster assistance application and what you qualify for, contact us at 1-800-621-3362 to speak with a FEMA representative in your language.

FEMA has had to launch a special web page to correct misinformation like the one first PP posted. Here is the link:

It was stated by Kamala Harris. She was trying to make everyone understand how under control they have it and she said everyone would get $750. Blame her if it is wrong. She said stupid stuff but she is actually running to be president so shockingly people believed her. She is moron and terrified people and made work for FEMA who had to correct the record since she is such a dummy.

Anyone who needs it, gets $750 on the spot so people have cash to get immediate supplies. That is nowhere close to the extent of what people who need it, can get. What Harris said isn't wrong. MAGAs willfully taking that statement and weaponizing it against her is outright disinformation and unAmerican.

+1 I am also in Florida - in Tampa Bay actually. The Tampa area is blue, by the way - and we have mayors who are working on climate resilience. But it's not easy or fast. It's unreal, that said, that we are getting another one while we are nowhere near even starting to recover from the last one.

At least this guy isn't in charge.
