In order to apply for individual help from FEMA, you must live in a county that is a Presidentially Declared Federal Disaster Area and approved for individual assistance. Some counties have been declared disaster areas but are not eligible for individual assistance. Instead, the government and other organizations have been granted funds to help clean up and repair. Additionally, governments and non-profits in every county in the state are eligible to apply for certain types of assistance so federal help in all counties may be available soon through local governments and agencies.
