What would federal declaration do
Evan M. Davis explains that a federal disaster declaration would bring housing aid and loans through FEMA and the SBA, plus disaster unemployment benefits. It would supply mobile homes or housing for up to a year, fund repairs and business relief, and offer up to 5000 to individuals through the Individual and Family Grant Program. Eligible workers can convert to disaster unemployment benefits if the declaration occurs.
