FEMA Assistance
We extended the grace period to renew flood insurance policies from 30 to 120 days.
We are suspending rent payment through September for disaster survivors living in FEMA-purchased temporary housing units in California, Florida and Texas.
We are providing additional COVID-19 funding opportunities to state, local, tribal and territorial partners through our Emergency Management Performance, Assistance to Firefighters and Emergency Food and Shelter grant programs under the CARES Act.
The CARES Act provides an additional $45 billion to our Disaster Relief Fund, more than doubling the amount available to support the President’s Emergency and Disaster Declarations.
