APPLYING FOR FEMA ASSISTANCE IF YOUR HOME IS A BOAT
[https://www.fema.gov/fact-sheet/applying-fema-assistance-if-your-home-boat-0]


Release Date: 
Aug 22, 2024 

If a boat was your primary residence before and during Hurricane Debby
in Florida and the boat sustained hurricane damage, FEMA may be able
to help.

You may be eligible for financial assistance for displacement, serious
needs, temporary lodging, personal property losses and other uninsured
disaster-related expenses.

If the boat was not located on private property, you will need to
provide the physical and complete address of the marina, dock and slip
or mooring number. The slip or mooring number is necessary so that
your application is separate from other potential boat applications at
the same address.

You cannot use a P.O. Box as your primary address, but you can use it
as a mailing address.
