News and Media: Disaster 4564

PENSACOLA, Fla. – A public notice is now available that addresses the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) intention to reimburse eligible applicants for costs to repair or replace facilities damaged by Hurricane Sally in Florida, under disaster declaration DR-4564-FL.

PENSACOLA, Fla. — Your house has never flooded. You have a homeowner’s insurance policy. You’re thinking: “I’m covered.”

Maybe not.

Many Panhandle residents may believe they don’t need to buy flood insurance. They don’t live in a high-risk flood zone. But flooding can happen anywhere, often to the surprise of residents who thought they were covered for disaster. When flooding happens, the damage is not covered by most homeowners’ insurance policies. One inch of floodwater can cause up to $25,000 of damage in a home.

PENSACOLA, Fla. – After you register for federal disaster assistance, it is important that FEMA be able to contact you. Be aware that phone calls from FEMA may appear to come from unidentified numbers and make sure that FEMA has your current contact information.
