FEMA offers Group Flood Insurance Policies to individuals who do not have flood insurance and have received assistance from FEMA after a presidentially declared disaster that included flooding.

For families and households affected by the Dec. 17 – 21 severe storm and flooding, FEMA’s Individuals and Households Program (IHP) may not compensate for everything lost or damaged by the disaster, but it can lend a helping hand to recovery. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

One month after the president issued a federal disaster declaration for the state of Maine for the severe storm and flooding that took place December 17-21, 2023, more than $3.6 million has been approved to help 630 applicants in Androscoggin, Franklin, Kennebec, Oxford and Somerset counties. Disaster recovery specialists have been in the field, visiting over three dozen communities so far, to make sure affected residents receive all assistance for which they may be eligible.

Applicants who have received federal disaster assistance for the Dec. 17 – 21, 2023 severe storm and flooding are required to use the money for its intended purpose only.

Survivors who applied for assistance from FEMA after the December 17-21 severe storm and flooding will receive a letter from FEMA explaining the status of your application.
