News and Media: Disaster 4697

If your home was damaged by the March 24-25 tornadoes but you can live in it safely, FEMA may be able to provide up to $300 in one-time financial assistance to help with cleanup. This assistance is for eligible homeowners and renters.

If you’ve applied for FEMA assistance to help cover the cost of repairing your storm-damaged home or replace personal property, FEMA will ask you to prove you owned or rented your home at the time of the March 24-25 tornadoes. FEMA recently expanded the list of accepted documents to make it easier for survivors.

Renters in Carroll, Humphreys, Monroe, Montgomery, Panola and Sharkey counties whose homes and property were damaged by the March 24-25 storms can apply for FEMA disaster assistance.

FEMA-contracted home inspectors are working in Carroll, Humphreys, Monroe, Montgomery, Panola and Sharkey counties as part of the disaster assistance process for the March storms.

At a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC), you can speak with specialists from FEMA, the state of Mississippi and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to get help with your recovery.
