Disaster Assistance and Your Farm
Disaster assistance is money or direct assistance to individuals, families and businesses in areas whose property has been damaged or destroyed and whose losses are not covered by insurance. It is meant to help with critical expenses that cannot be covered in other ways. This assistance is not intended to restore your damaged property to its condition before the disaster. The level of assistance will vary depending on the severity of the event.
