News and Media: Disaster 4676

El Programa de Individuos y Familias (IHP, por sus siglas en inglés) de FEMA brinda asistencia económica a personas y hogares elegibles afectados por un desastre que tienen gastos relacionados con desastres sin seguro o con seguro insuficiente. FEMA no puede duplicar pérdidas cubiertas por el seguro. Si su seguro no cubre todas sus pérdidas, o se retrasa, usted puede ser elegible para recibir asistencia para sus necesidades no satisfechas. La asistencia de IHP de FEMA no es un sustituto del seguro y no puede pagar todas las pérdidas causadas por un desastre; su objetivo es satisfacer las necesidades básicas y complementar los esfuerzos de recuperación por desastre.
