People living in states such as Texas and Florida, where the risk of being hit by a hurricane is high, take different steps to protect their property after the storm. There are many agencies that help the victims of a hurricane by providing them with hot meals as well as a shelter, others such as The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) helps you obtain an affordable generator for your home.
FEMA’s Individuals and Households Program (IHP), has a provision called the “Under the Other Needs Assistance” (ONA) which explains that victims may be eligible to receive reimbursement for the purchase of a home generator.
What do you need to do to quality? FEMA explains:
· The generator must be purchased or rented because of an event that results in a presidentially declared emergency or major disaster;
· The applicant’s dwelling must be located in a declared area designated for Individual Assistance;
· An applicant must provide proof-of-purchase or rental receipts for the generator;
· The generator must be needed for a medically required appliance or piece of equipment; and
· There must be proof that the appliance or equipment was required for medical purposes.
