Efforts To Flood-Proof Victims Lag In Relief Efforts
Washington reports show SBA FHA and Red Cross have allocated 37 million dollars in aid through November 10, covering 8 percent of Commerce's 457 million dollar disaster damage estimate. Red Cross relocates flood victims to high ground when possible but leaves uncondemned sites to residents. Final relief figures hover around 15 thousand families aided for about 15 million dollars. SBA loans near 25 million dollars for roughly 1,600 loans. FHA has issued 21 hurricane and flood relief loans totaling 378 thousand dollars with 300 applications pending. Additional topics include push for flood insurance, federal efficiency drive at GSA, and a separate note on life insurance purchases rising in 1955.
