CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Homeowners typically apply for disaster assistance for structural damages to their property, such as roofs or floors. But other parts of a residence or private property, not covered by insurance, can also be repaired or replaced under FEMA programs.
Damages to your furnace, septic system, private road and/or bridge, or your private well may also be covered by financial assistance from FEMA.
