Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Community Associations |
Community Associations Institute (CAI), a national education and advocacy organization representing association-governed communities, is organizing an effort to educate federal legislators and regulators about the importance of equitability in determining FEMA funding for association-governed communities contending with natural disasters. Sandy, the recent hurricane that swept through the northeast, is one of a number of major natural disasters that have left community associations with major expenses to clean up debris and damage.
CAI has long advocated that community associations should receive clean-up assistance from FEMA following natural disasters.
Debris removal in community associations is typically not covered when FEMA provides monetary assistance following a natural disaster. Community associations damaged by hurricanes and other natural disasters have found that the costs of debris removal can be extremely high. Without adequate insurance coverage, homeowners in those communities can be stuck with enormous and unanticipated costs.
