We're in The King;s neighborhood of

Vicksburg. This community had up

to fifteen feet of water where

we're standing now, all of these

homes were submerged, tremendous

damage to the homes. They sat in

flood waters for up to a month, as

the water slowly came up and then

slowly came down. So they're dealing

with mold, water saturation,

destruction of everything, the whole

works. I've been flooded down here. I

moved out and I lost everything that 

I have, and I'm just trying to get back

to normal. Community relations is

contacting everyone who lives in this

area to be sure that they're registered

with FEMA. After they have registered

with FEMA they'll get a call from a

FEMA Inspector making an appointment to

assess the damage. They may qualify for

assistance for home repair. They had to

leave their homes during the flooding

and also they have to leave them while

they're repairing them because they're

not safe to live in. I applied to FEMA

and I heard from them, and they helped

me with my first month's rent, they came

out and inspected my home, and I'm just

waiting for the results of that. Our job

is to get people into the system in the

sixty day period when they have to

register, to answer any questions they

have about the registration process. To

be sure that they have continued with

the paperwork. Some of them have to

file rent receipts after a month or

two, to continue rental assistance

if they receive an SBA Packet. We

contact them to be sure that they

have filled out or understand

that they can go to the Disaster

Recovery Center for assistance in

filling that out. I hope to get back

home and get back to normal and just

live my life out.
