Flood Relief

Resources to help recover from recent flooding including FEMA, permitting contacts, as well as how to donate and volunteer.
If you are primary homeowner who placed a claim with FEMA but have not yet received an inspection or assistance, please call FEMA at 800-621-3362, TTY: 800-462-7585.

​For further assistance with an appeal or for unmet needs from the flood, call Disaster Case Manager, Carla Long, at 989-598-4315, or call 2-1-1.

Applicants who disagree with FEMA decisions have the option to submit an appeal letter with additional documentation to have their case reconsidered. The appeal should include a letter explaining what they are appealing, be signed and dated, and include supporting documentation, such as a copy of a verifiable contractor’s estimate.

Ways to File an Appeal:
Appeals should be submitted 60 days after the initial decision:

  • By mail: FEMA’s Individuals and Households Program, National Processing Service Center, P.O. Box 10055, Hyattsville MD 20782-7055.
  • By fax: 1-800-827-8112.
  • Online via a FEMA online account: to set up an online account, visit www.DisasterAssistance.gov, click on “Check Status” and follow the directions.

Simple rules to protect yourself when hiring contractors to clean property or make repairs • Only use state licensed contractors • Get more than one written estimate before hiring a contractor. Note: you only need one for a FEMA appeal. • Check references and ask for proof of liability insurance and Workers’ Compensation. • Don’t sign a contract with blank spaces and get any guarantees in writing. • Pay in installments, and make the final payment after the work is completed. • Report disaster-related fraud to the Michigan Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division at 877-765-8388.
