Do you, or does someone you know, live in an area affected by Hurricane Isabel? If so, you may be eligible for assistance through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). After making landfall in North Carolina, Isabel worked its way inland, causing flooding, countless damaged houses and buildings, and leaving millions of people without power. While the residents of Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia work to recover from the devastation caused by Hurricane Isabel, GovBenefits.gov is highlighting a few of the resources available to provide disaster relief assistance.
