What does FEMA’s Individual Assistance Program provide?

FEMA’s Individual Assistance Program is designed to assist individuals and households who are affected by disasters. Its primary focus is to provide financial help and direct services to those in need, enabling them to recover from the effects of disasters. This can include assistance for temporary housing, home repairs, and other disaster-related expenses not covered by insurance. The aim is to support individuals and families in getting back on their feet after a disaster has struck.

The other answers pertain to different aspects of FEMA’s operations that focus on community or infrastructure support rather than individual assistance. Technical support to local governments, funding for public infrastructure repairs, and training programs for first responders are essential parts of disaster management and recovery but do not address the specific needs of individuals directly affected by disasters, which is the core purpose of the Individual Assistance Program.
