The federal government provides a variety of assistance programs for people impacted by disasters like the two major hurricanes, Helene and Milton, that recently hit the Southeastern US. To get access to the funding, people must submit an application to the US Federal Emergency Management Agency. As of Friday morning, only FEMA aid for Hurricane Helene victims was available. People impacted by Hurricane Milton should wait to apply until the official federal disaster declaration is made – which is expected to happen later Friday.
