News and Media: Disaster all

DENTON, Texas – During the recent winter storms, many Oklahomans in the 16 designated counties may have sustained damages to their home and property.  Homeowners and renters who have insurance and are applying for FEMA disaster assistance must also file an insurance claim as soon as possible.

When applicants apply to FEMA , they are asked if they are insured. Insurance is then taken into consideration as their application is processed.

Salem, Ore. -- Nearly six months after the event, many survivors are just now returning to their wildfire-decimated properties to begin the process of rebuilding. While homeowner’s insurance is the primary source of funds to pay for home repairs after a major disaster, some home repairs such as private wells and/or septic systems are not typically covered.

DENVER – Goshen County’s flood insurance rate map update is nearing completion. The new maps will provide
Goshen County with more accurate flood risk information that can help local officials and residents make informed
decisions about reducing flood risks and purchasing flood insurance.

The mapping project is part of a nationwide effort led by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to
increase local knowledge of flood risks and support actions to address and reduce those risks.
