Floridians who were impacted by the April 12–14 severe storms,
tornadoes and flooding in Broward County may be eligible for FEMA
assistance to repair or replace a vehicle.

OTHER NEEDS ASSISTANCE (ONA) FOR VEHICLES

FEMA’s Other Needs Assistance (ONA) provides financial help after a
disaster to cover necessary expenses and serious needs not paid by
insurance or other sources. This may include repair or replacement of
a vehicle. You must first apply to FEMA (800-621-3362,
DisasterAssistance.gov [http://www.DisasterAssistance.gov], or FEMA
mobile app
[https://www.fema.gov/about/news-multimedia/mobile-products]), then
submit an application for a disaster loan from the U.S. Small Business
Administration (SBA). If you are denied a loan, or if the loan does
not cover all the expense, you may be referred to FEMA for ONA
consideration.

For assistance to repair or replace a vehicle, the damage must have
been caused by the disaster and the vehicle must no longer be operable
or safe to drive. Cosmetic repairs will not be covered. Other
conditions include:

 	* The vehicle must have been damaged by the April 12-14 disaster and
must have been located in Broward County at the time.
 	* Assistance is usually limited to one vehicle. If there is a second
functional vehicle in the household, the applicant must certify in
writing that the damaged vehicle is essential for the household’s
daily use.
 	* The vehicle must be in compliance with state registration and
insurance requirements.
 	* The vehicle must be owned or leased (not a rental) by the
applicant, co-applicant, or household member.
 	* The damaged vehicle must be an approved vehicle type, such as a
car, truck, SUV or van.
 	* The amount provided for repair or replacement is based on the
degree of damage and the amount the state has determined for the
maximum repair and replacement value.

DOCUMENTATION

	* Documentation required for consideration, includes, but is not
limited to: 

 	* Proof of insurance policy showing the type of coverage or proof of
vehicle meets the state’s requirement
 	* Insurance provider settlement or statement that insurance coverage
does not exists, for vehicle repair 
 	* A verifiable estimate, bill, or receipt confirming the damage was
caused by the disaster, with labor and parts/replacement costs. For
vehicle replacement, additional documentation is necessary from state
or local government confirming the vehicle was salvaged due to the
disaster.
