Storm Damage - FEMA Reimbursement Process & Cleaning (Homeowners & Business Owners Look Inside!)

Disaster Relief

If you are a homeowner or business owner that sustained un-insurable flood damage from Hurricane Ida, we advise you to seek assistance from FEMA using the following steps below:

Make sure you've documented all of your damage and make a list of anything damaged. Be sure to keep receipts for any work or any equipment damaged!

Apply with FEMA using their application online at www.disasterassistance.gov, or by telephone via 800-621-3362. Applying online is the quickest way to get assistance.

If you have insurance, file a claim with your insurance company and start documenting your damage before applying to FEMA. FEMA cannot duplicate insurance payments, but may be able to help where homeowners or flood insurance did not.

Here are Some Clean-up Tips from the CDC and Westchester County

Tips from the CDC

Prevent Mold Growth 

  • Clean up and dry your home quickly after the storm or flood ends- within 24 to 48 hours if possible.
  • Air out your house by opening doors and windows. Use fans to dry wet areas. Position fans to blow air out doors or windows.
  • Throw away anything that you can’t clean or dry quickly (such as mattresses, carpeting, carpet padding, rugs, upholstered furniture, cosmetics, stuffed animals, baby toys, pillows, foam-rubber items, books, wall coverings, and paper products).
  • Remove and discard drywall and insulation that has been contaminated with sewage or flood waters.
  • Thoroughly clean all wet items and surfaces with hot water and laundry or dish detergent. For example, you’ll want to clean any flooring, concrete, molding, wood and metal furniture, countertops, appliances, sinks, and other plumbing fixtures.
  • Fix any leaks in roofs, walls, or plumbing as soon as you can.

Clean up mold with a mix of bleach and water
