News and Media: Disaster 4573

More than $31 million was approved in federal grants, disaster loans and flood insurance claims since Hurricane Zeta took aim at Alabama Oct. 28-29, resulting in flooding, widespread power outages and scattered debris as it tracked southwest to northeast.

Alabama survivors have received more than $18 million in FEMA grants for damage from Hurricane Zeta.

A simple three-digit telephone number dialed from anywhere in Alabama connects residents to health and human services agencies that can provide help to individuals and households recovering from Hurricane Zeta.

With only one week left before the Feb. 8 filing deadline for federal disaster assistance, Alabama residents who had losses or damage from Hurricane Zeta are encouraged to review the many types of grants and loans that are available.

Hurricane Zeta survivors who have already applied for disaster assistance with FEMA need to keep in touch with the agency to keep your application moving forward and especially if your contact information changes.
