Georgia wants to know how far federal FEMA assistance is going to stretch in the wake of sprint 2009 flooding.
Fema does not cover insurance deductibles.
Fema covers over the deductible by a low rate SBA loan. For some, grants may be available. For those with mold questions, Fema will sometimes pay for serious remediation but not minor issues.

After apparent mold was discovered during routine maintenance of 11 mobile homes at two central Indiana mobile home parks, Federal Emergency Management Agency notified residents of FEMA-provided mobile homes that mold was believed to have grown on the exterior water heater compartments. That discovery leads to mold inspections of 700 other mobile homes brought out of storage for Indiana’s June flood victims.
The access panels were clad in aluminum, but the interior was drywall, a material which makes the panels prone to becoming damp and fostering the growth of mold.
There was no mold in the trailers at all and none in the living space, only in the water heater compartments.
