Make The Most Of Our Knowledge
As an individual, finding and applying for FEMA programs can be even more challenging. But our experts are here to help. Take advantage of their wealth of knowledge and experience.
Part of deciding what FEMA programs you’re eligible for is understanding the types of severe weather events that are most common in your area. For our friends in East Richland, hurricanes and the subsequent storm and flood damage cause the most headaches. For you, it may be tornados or wildfires. It is your responsibility as a home or business owner to know what your biggest risks are, and take the necessary steps to prepare for them and hopefully reduce losses when disaster strikes.
FEMA programs are actually available for mitigation and preparedness services, so you don’t have to wait for disaster to strike before you can utilize everything FEMA has to offer. The Hazard Mitigation Assistance Program is one of the programs East Richland takes advantage of with our support and ongoing guidance. This program provides funding for the community to identify and remedy potential hazards, allowing them to reduce the risk of damages and losses when a disaster strikes. Reducing these risks helps communities and businesses rebound more quickly from disasters, helping them to recover faster. So if you are in a high-risk area and don’t have a strategy in place, get organized today. Chat with a team member at Berquist so we can get you set up with a comprehensive strategy.
