Everyone who applied to FEMA got $2000.   Some people got more, depending on what they told FEMA and what sort of flood insurance or house insurance they had.

I live in New Orleans.  I am one of those other thousands of people that you are NOT hearing about; I found a place to live, I did not ask for more FEMA money.  It has been over 5 months since we all lost practically everything.  That's 5 months.  That's a lot of time to pull oneself together and get on with getting on.  Thousands of us did just that, but you aren't reading about us, are you?  I think it is right, and anyone still expecting FEMA to pay for a hotel room should be able to show FEMA proof why they would still need it.

Not enough!  These guys/gals are hero's! And only get paid squat!  For the life of me, I cant figure out why the fire dept./ police/EMT/ and school teachers are paid so little.  These are the people that should be making the big bucks!

Seriously.  None.  In the end he will be told to give you one half of what ever he got.  I have seen this happen many times.  I work for an attorney.  If your not close to trial then not much is going to happen.  Even then you will just have to get compensated.

I'm so sorry this happened to you.  In all honesty, the government doesn't care.  They put up a paltry reward of $50K for the return.  Whomever buys this information, sadly YOUR information, will pay much much more than $50K.\n\nIf you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.

Saw your request and I hope this is right.\n\n1,316,667.00 total.

Well, i don't know the exact figure, but I'd think it's somewhere between 10k-20k. Most of these things are settled out of court, I received a settlement from progressive Insurance for soft tissue injuries for $7,500 (also factor in that your lawyer is taking 1/3 of what you get, 40% if he has to file a suit)

I was pleased to see your question mentioned the "areas" affected and not just New Orleans.  New Orleans damage was not inflicted by the hurricane, but the levy breach.  The Mississippi Gulf Coast was decimated.  There are still residents who do not yet have a FEMA trailer, and its 14 months plus after the fact.  There are many insurance companies who are not paying because the damage was "flood" damage, and not covered.  HELLO!  The "flood" was caused by a hurricane!!!!!\n\nNo, the government has not done enough.  They have spent far too much time worrying about how to go about it and too little time getting their proverbial hands dirty and actually doing the work.  Church and college groups in this area are continuing to go down and help with demolition and rebuilding - weekly.  There are still mountains of debris that has not been removed.  \n\nThis Thanksgiving and Christmas season, there are thousands of families who are facing their second holiday season without a real home, and still with no answers from the federal government, state government or their insurance companies.  And the national media continues to focus on "New Orleans".  Our nation lost National Historic Sites on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, "Beauvoir", the home of Jefferson Davis being one of them.  Major damage in the state of Mississippi extended as far inland as Jackson, Meridian and even as far north as Tupelo and New Albany.  The scope of this was diminished in the national media, and has largely been relegated to history by many American citizens.  It is not history to the residents who are living in FEMA trailers, or tents, still fighting insurance companies, still have no jobs because the companies are not back up and running - I could go on and on.\n\nSo, no, I think the government has done a grave disservice to those citizens who were left homeless, jobless, and in many cases only with the clothing on their backs by Katrina.  And these "celebrities" keep showing how they have built this house or that house - there is still tons to do.  This problem is not fixed - not by a long shot.

Aside from the obvious? (World Trade Center, a 33 BILLION dollar loss!!!)\n\nOn Monday, February 1, 1999, an explosion and fire ripped through the aging power plant at Ford Motor Company's famous Rouge facility in Dearborn, Michigan, killing six civilians and injuring 38, 14 of them seriously. Resulting in about $1 billion in property damage, the fire was one of the most expensive industrial accidents in U.S. history. It was also the largest human-caused insurance loss of the year.\n\nNot a good one?  Go to NFPA.ORG, select "research and reports", under the pulldown navigate to "fire statistics" and "historical" from there you can select a list by largest fire losses.  Again, looking at the top 25 over the past 100 years, even adjusted for time, the World Trade Center fire is more that 2-24 combined.  WOW!\n\nI selected the one I mentioned, because it fits your search criteria AND you can call up many detailed reports about it.\n\nCut and paste the link in sources...

Yes you can! It is part of the loss. If the hurricane had not came you would not have had that expense. It goes under casualty of theft or loss

It's difficult to get accurate information on that since it spends money on natural disasters in so many different ways, from actually providing food and shelter to tax relief. FEMA's Disaster Relief Account has spent $44.278 billion over the past 10 years, $11.846 billion of which was spent last year alone.

It has been almost a year since Katrina hit.  There is no reason you shouldn't be working to get these things that you need.  The American people were VERY sympathetic when Katrina struck,  donating MILLIONS and MILLIONS worth of dollars and goods.  That time is up.  It's time for you "victims" to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and stop expecting the rest of the US to make it all better for you.  While I am sorry for the devistation that you and so many others suffered,  I am also very tired of working my a$$ into the ground to make ends meet just so my tax dollars can continue being spent to keep you guys up.  Get a job,  put money back and go from there.

When I graduated high school I usually recieved 30-50 dollars, which I graciously accepted.  Of course, some relatives gave me more than that, but I wouldn't have expected more than 50 dollars from someone I wasn't related to.

It is mandatory that you have homeowners insurance in New Orleans and flood insurance in a flood zone, which many areas that weren't considered flood zones and had never flooded before had 8ft. of water.  Fema is thouroghly investigating each and every situation and requiring all kinds of proof of insurance from home owners to determine if they need further assistance after contacting insurance agencies, they are not just handing out checks!\nThe people that didn't have insurance were RENTERS, not just poor black people.  Fema is giving them money for personal property inside there home that was lost.  Wouldn't you want the government to help you get a new start in life after you just lost everything you owned and now left in a unfamiliar place?  I mean what were the people paying taxes for if when they have a major (devastation leaving them jobless) interruption in their lives they can't get some help!\nThere have been so many negative things said about the people from New Orleans, but how can anyone who has not gone through what they have gone through say what they should or should not be doing, how they should or should not feel. If you didn't have to go through it, you will never be able to understand how it fells to be in a city that is entirely covered by water (except the french quaters), with no lights, food, and water in extremely hot weather, sitting on a roof top or a bridge with your small children or sick elderly parents, watching dead people float by you, and there aren't enough boats and rescue workers so they have to take one or two of you to safety (the superdome?) hoping they will remember to go back and get the others before they die. Some people couldn't even make it to their attic in time and were found floating on a mattres with only a few inches between them and the ceiling(close your eyes and imagine that you were laying there hoping and praying that by the grace of God somebody finds YOU, when thousands of people were in the same or similar situation). \nMANDATORY EVACUATION WASN'T ISSUED IN THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS UNTIL SUNDAY, AUGUST 28, 2005. SOME HOURS BEFORE LANDFALL NOT SEVERAL DAYS.

Gees...another "blame it on Bush" answer.  Fact is the death toll on Katrina lies squarely on the shoulder of the state gov't of Louisiana and the city of New Orleans and it's residents.  It was their responsibility, not the federal government's, to ensure they were prepared for a natural disaster.  Those who could have left should have when they had the chance and let's not mention all the misappropriated funds by one of the most corrupt state and local governments in the history of the U.S.
