In many cases, the assistance will come in the form of a low-interest loan. All the important information you will need prior to and during a hurricane will be available from newspapers, radio, television and weather alert monitors. Do not call 911 for information. When you are allowed back into your home, it will take time for relief assistance to start, for all utilities to be turned on, for life to return to normal. After a storm be wary of strangers who want to sell you something or do work on your property.
Hurricanes bring out con artists and crooks.
Follow the recommendations of your insurance company.
