Washington, D.C. (October 11, 2022) - On
Friday, October 7, 2022, the Florida Division of Emergency
Management (FDEM) announced that applications for the Federal
Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Public Assistance Grant
Program are due by October 29, 2022.
FEMA provides disaster recovery assistance to eligible
individuals, families, governments, and private non-profit
entities. However, the process for recovering costs is complicated,
and FEMA has broad discretion to determine whether applicants and
their expenses are eligible. All too often, failure to understand
FEMA regulations or submit sufficient documentation results in FEMA
denying applicants' claims, leaving individuals, local
governments, and non-profits to bear the full cost of recovery.
