CENTER POINT, Ala. (WIAT)- "We're canvassing the neighborhood to make contact with the survivors, to assist them in registering with the Federal Emergency Management Agency," says Steve Bailey.
FEMA, is going from door to door to make sure people are taking advantage of federal assistance.
"Federal assistance can not happen until you register at the 1-800-621-fema number."
Even if you have insurance, you're still urged to apply for assistance.
"They may be under insured or there may be other issues. We do not determine eligibility here, but unless they register, it will not be able to be determined, rather they are eligible for additional benefits."
Dana Ogletree, lives on 23rd Terrace Northwest, in Center Point. Her insurance is taking care of all the damages done to her house, but not her vehicles. That's where she's hoping FEMA, will step in.
"We don't have transportation hardly, we have to have a friend pick our kids up from school, because I don't have a car at the moment," says Dana Ogletree.
She's is hoping with FEMA's help, she can pick up the pieces, and go on with life, but for now...
"I guess we'll just keep on going with our lives and hopefully everything will get better, just have to deal with what you got."
