การกลับบ้านภายหลังเหตุการณ์อุทกภัยอาจเป็นช่วงเวลาที่ยากลำบากที่สุด มีหลายเรื่องที่คุณต้องตระหนักเมื่อคุณกำลังจะกลับไปที่บ้าน เพื่อให้แน่ใจว่าคุณได้ลดปัญหาที่อาจเกิดขึ้นทั้งหมดแล้ว ทั้งนี้ คุณสามารถขอความช่วยเหลือจากแหล่งทรัพยากรในหน้านี้เพื่อช่วยให้คุณสามารถกลับไปที่บ้านได้อย่างเรียบร้อย

ติดต่อตัวแทนประกันภัยของคุณเพื่อเรียกร้องค่าสินไหมทดแทน ตัวแทนประกันภัยของคุณสามารถช่วยเหลือคุณในการดำเนินการกับทางเลือกต่างๆ โปรดอย่าลืมถ่ายภาพความเสียหายจากเหตุการณ์อุทกภัยเพื่อจัดเก็บไว้

วิธีการขอความช่วยเหลือจากส่วนกลางที่เร็วที่สุดคือวิธีใด? ทางออนไลน์ที่ DisasterAssistance.gov และผู้ประสบภัยยังสามารถขอความช่วยเหลือทางโทรศัพท์ได้ที่ 800-621-3362 (ระบบเสียง, 711 หรือ VRS) หรือที่ 800-462-7585 (TTY) เนื่องจากมีผู้ต้องการติดต่อเป็นจำนวนมาก บางครั้งสายอาจไม่ว่าง โปรดรอสักครู่และลองโทรอีกครั้งในเวลาเช้าหรือค่ำ ซึ่งจำนวนผู้โทรติดต่อจะน้อยกว่า หากต้องการติดต่อด้วยตนเอง โปรดค้นหาข้อมูลที่ตั้งของศูนย์ฟื้นฟูจากภัยพิบัติ (Disaster Recovery Center) ที่อยู่ใกล้บ้านคุณโดยใช้เครื่องมือค้นหา DRC

หากได้รับคำขอ โปรดกรอกแบบฟอร์มขอสินเชื่อ SBA และจัดส่งมาตามที่อยู่ที่ระบุ SBA เสนอสินเชื่อระยะยาวดอกเบี้ยต่ำเพื่อฟื้นฟูจากภัยพิบัติ ให้แก่ธุรกิจต่างๆ ทั้งเล็กและใหญ่ (รวมถึงเจ้าของที่ดิน), องค์กรเอกชนที่ไม่แสวงหากำไร (เช่น คริสตจักรและองค์กรการกุศล), เจ้าของบ้าน และผู้ให้เช่า

หากคำขอนั้นถูกปฏิเสธ ผู้สมัครอาจได้รับการส่งต่อกลับมาที่ FEMA เพื่อรับความช่วยเหลืออื่น (Other Needs Assistance - ONA) หากเป็นไปได้ ซึ่งได้แก่ ค่าใช้จ่ายสำหรับอสังหาริมทรัพย์ส่วนบุคคล, การซ่อมบำรุงหรือเปลี่ยนรถยนต์ใหม่ และค่าใช้จ่ายในการขนย้ายและจัดเก็บสิ่งของ

FEMA อาจมอบเงินทุนจำนวนหนึ่งที่ครอบคลุมความจำเป็นบางประการ เช่น ค่าเลี้ยงดูบุตร หรือค่าใช้จ่ายทางการแพทย์และทันตกรรมที่เกิดจากเหตุการณ์ภัยพิบัติ โดยที่คุณไม่จำเป็นต้องสมัครขอรับสินเชื่อ SBA ก่อนจึงจะมีสิทธิ์ได้รับเงินทุนนี้

หากคุณไม่สามารถกลับเข้าบ้านที่ได้รับความเสียหายได้เนื่องจากเหตุการณ์น้ำท่วมที่กินเวลานาน คุณอาจมีสิทธิ์ได้รับความช่วยเหลือในการเช่าบ้านเป็นเวลาหนึ่งเดือนจาก FEMA นอกจากนี้ คุณอาจมีคุณสมบัติตามเกณฑ์การให้ความช่วยเหลือสำหรับความจำเป็นขั้นวิกฤติ (Critical Needs Assistance) ซึ่งเป็นการมอบเงินทุนครั้งเดียวสำหรับครัวเรือนที่ต้องย้ายที่อยู่อาศัย ทั้งนี้เพื่อตอบสนองความต้องการเร่งด่วนอันเกิดจากเหตุการณ์ภัยพิบัติ เช่น ความต้องการอาหาร ยารักษาโรค นมผสมสำหรับทารก ผ้าอ้อม แก๊สสำหรับการขนส่งคมนาคม และของใช้จำเป็นทางการแพทย์

After you Apply for Assistance

A blue and grey graphic explaining what happens after you apply for assistance. It reads as follows: What to expect after you apply for FEMA aid. You may receive an application to apply for a low-interest long-term SBA loan. Completing the SBA loan application is an important step in finding out what aid may be available to you. As a homeowner you may borrow up to $200,000 to repair/replace your primary residence, and up to $40,000 to repair/replace personal property. You are not required to accept the loan in order to receive FEMA assistance, but it may enable you to be considered for additional types of assistance. An inspector will contact you to schedule a visit. Be ready to keep your scheduled appointment. Appointments take 30-40 minutes and you must be present. Contact your insurance agent if you have insurance. Prove your identity.

Tips for Clean-Up

Below are a few simple guidelines to follow that will make the clean-up and salvage process safer and easier:

  • Always wear protective clothing including long-sleeved shirts, long pants, rubber or plastic gloves and waterproof boots or shoes.
  • Before entering your home, look outside for damaged power lines, gas lines and other exterior damage.
  • Take photos of your damage before you begin to clean up and save repair receipts.
  • Your home may be contaminated with mold, which raises the health risk for those with asthma, allergies and breathing conditions. Refer to the Center for Disease Control for more info on mold: www.cdc.gov/disasters/hurricanes/pdf/flyer-get-rid-of-mold.pdf.
  • Open doors and windows so your house can air out before spending any length of time inside.
  • Turn off main electrical power and water systems and don’t use gas appliances until a professional can ensure they are safe.
  • Check all ceilings and floors for signs of sagging or other potentially dangerous structural damage.
  • Throw out all foods, beverages and medicines exposed to flood waters or mud including canned goods and containers with food or liquid.
  • Also, throw out any items that absorb water and cannot be cleaned or disinfected (mattresses, carpeting, stuffed animals, etc.).
  • Beware of snakes, insects, and other animals that may be on your property or in your home.
  • Remove all drywall and insulation that has been in contact with flood waters.
  • Clean all hard surfaces (flooring, countertops, appliances, sinks, etc.) thoroughly with hot water and soap or detergent.
  • For tips and guidance on disposing of animal carcasses left by Harvey, go to TCEQ's hurricane response page.

8 tips to clean up mold

    Beware of Fraud & Price Gouging

    After a disaster scam artists, identity thieves and other criminals may attempt to prey on vulnerable survivors. The most common post-disaster fraud practices include phony housing inspectors, fraudulent building contractors, bogus pleas for disaster donations and fake offers of state or federal aid.

    Survivors should keep in mind:

    • FEMA does not authorize individual contractors to solicit on its behalf.  Beware of any individual contractors contacting you directly on behalf of FEMA to sign you up for debris removal or remediation services.
    • If you have any concerns about individuals representing themselves as FEMA or would like to report fraud, please contact the National Center for Disaster Fraud at (866) 720-5721 or via email at disaster@leo.gov
    • Federal and state workers will never ask for or accept money and always carry identification badges
    • There is NO FEE required to apply for or to get disaster assistance from FEMA, the U.S. Small Business Administration or the state
    • Scam attempts can be made over the phone, by mail or email, text or in person

    Price Gouging

    Price gouging occurs when a supplier marks up the price of an item more than is justified by his actual costs. Survivors are particularly susceptible because their needs are immediate, and have few alternatives to choose from. If you find price gouging, contact you the Texas State Office of the Attorney General.

    Report Price Gouging

    Dealing with Contractors:

    Survivors should take steps to protect themselves and avoid fraud when hiring contractors to clean property, remove debris or make repairs.

    Simple rules to avoid becoming a victim of fraud:

    • Only use contractors licensed by your state
    • Get a written estimate and get more than one estimate
    • Demand and check references
    • Ask for proof of insurance
      • i.e., liability and Workmen's Compensation
    • Insist on a written contract and refuse to sign a contract with blank spaces
    • Get any guarantees in writing
    • Make final payments only after the work is completed
    • Pay by check.

    The best way to avoid fraud is to arm yourself against it by having a checklist to remind you of what you need to demand when hiring a contractor.

    4. STEP FOUR: Complete A Proof of Loss

    Note for Hurricane Harvey Survivors: Although ordinarily required within 60 days from the date of loss, completing a Proof of Loss (POL) will be waived for a period of one-year. The insurance company will accept the adjuster’s report to pay your claim. You will need a POL if you find additional flood damage or if you disagree with what the insurance company pays you.

    Please keep in mind that even after you receive an initial payment for your flood claim, you have the option to request additional payment. You will need to submit a POL by one year from the date of loss if you request additional payment(s).

    Unsatisfied With Your Claim Payment? If after you receive a denial letter (for all or some of your flood insurance claim) from your insurer you are unsatisfied with the dollar amount being offered for flood-loss repairs or replacements, you may explore other options. These options are only available for policyholders who have received a denial letter.
