News and Media: Disaster 4866

In coordination with the State of Oklahoma, FEMA and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) will be supporting two community pop-up events this week to help survivors of the March wildfires.

After Oklahoma residents apply for FEMA assistance for the March wildfires, a home inspection may be necessary to help determine whether the home is safe, sanitary and livable, or to confirm its present condition.

It authorizes FEMA to provide assistance to Cleveland, Creek, Lincoln, Logan, Oklahoma, Pawnee and Payne counties. Here are the various types of assistance that will benefit individuals and households.
