Disaster Assistance is money or direct assistance to individuals, families and businesses in an area whose property has been damaged or destroyed by a disaster 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 damaged property to its condition before the disaster.
