Did your personal property get damaged or destroyed because of Typhoon
Mawar? If so, FEMA may be able to lend you a hand to repair or replace
it.

FEMA’s Personal Property Assistance is limited to helping with your
basic needs after Typhoon Mawar; it will not recover all property
losses, and it is not a substitute for insurance coverage. However,
FEMA’s Personal Property Assistance may repair or replace your
disaster-damaged property if you meet the eligibility requirements,
and the items fall within any of these categories:

 	* APPLIANCES: includes common household appliances, such as a
refrigerator, washing machine, etc.
 	* CLOTHING: essential clothing needed due to overall loss, damage,
or contamination
 	* HOME FURNISHINGS: basic furnishings found in a bedroom, kitchen,
bathroom and living room
 	* TOOLS REQUIRED FOR WORK AND SCHOOL: equipment required for work,
or necessary school items for you and your family members
 	* ACCESSIBLE ITEMS: FEMA also provides assistance for damaged
personal property required for qualified applicants with disabilities

You must meet the following conditions to receive Personal Property
Assistance:

 	* To be eligible, these items must have been owned before the
typhoon

	* The item was owned and being used by occupants of the household 

 	* FEMA does not provide assistance for furnishings and/or appliances
provided by a landlord
 	* Items used by guests and relatives who were not members of the
pre-disaster household are also not eligible for assistance

Additionally, FEMA may not repair or replace a typhoon-damaged item if
you own a similar item that works.
