FEMA

This is one program that is especially helpful in times of need. The program is FEMA. FEMA is for disaster related victims and businesses. You can go to the following site FEMA and it gives you the guidelines for assistance for affected individuals and families. The site also shows you the way that you can register by phone or email. The FEMA program can be contacted from 8a.m.-6p.m. (local time). Hurricane Katrina is a good example of a situation of where FEMA was and still is needed. Hurricane Katrina was the costliest and one of the five deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States. You can follow the following link Katrina and it gives you all kind of background information on the natural disaster that occurred. President George W. Bush declared a state of emergency in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi two days before the hurricane made landfall. On August 28th New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin ordered the first ever mandatory evacuation of the city. The effects of Hurricane Katrina are still in effect as of today and the ruins that were left behind have still not been completely cleaned up. This is not the only instance in which FEMA can help. They can help if your home has been destroyed during a storm and the insurance does not cover it all then FEMA can cover the rest.
