Cleaning up the trash left behind has become another burden for storm-hit communities.

Over the last few years, FEMA’s BRIC program has awarded $4.5 billion worth of grants intended to help communities prepare for future disasters. But with the Trump administration eying the program for cuts, what happens if that money goes away?

The rule is designed to stop the cycle of flood damage, but it’s leading to opposite outcomes in two Louisiana towns.

GoFundMe campaigns to help out those affected by Southern California’s wildfires have raised at least $100 million, a spokesperson said.

Federal funding doesn’t become available for rebuilding efforts until an average of two years after a storm, one study showed.

FEMA offers $770 for disasters declared starting this month, but it’s not the only money you can get.

Recovery goes on long after the cameras have moved on.

FEMA will have enough for immediate emergency response, but the latest government funding bill didn’t include additional funding to help communities struggling from past disasters.

The rules include up-front housing vouchers and broader access to flexible, critical-needs payments in the aftermath of a disaster.

Mobile homes are uniquely vulnerable when natural disasters hit, and face challenges when trying to get recovery money. Some in Colorado are still grappling with the effects of flooding in 2013.
