Deadline to apply for FEMA grants is December 11
Washington—Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) released the following statement today on individual assistance grants made available by FEMA for Californians victimized by the this season’s wildfires. The deadline to apply for the grants is December 11.
“Many families assume that insurance will cover all fire-related costs. Unfortunately, as we’ve seen in the aftermath of other disasters, that’s not always the case. I encourage those affected to get in touch with FEMA right away—don’t wait until the December 11 deadline.”
While unprecedented wildfires have ravaged California all year, October proved to be a particularly destructive month, with 245,000 acres burned, 43 people killed and billions of dollars in damage done.
