FEMA Approves $21.5 Million in Hurricane Aid in Miami-Dade, Where Damage Was Insignificant

Local officials agree that hurricane damage to Miami-Dade County this year was light, but the Federal Emergency Management Agency has approved more than $20 million in residents' requests for aid.

Yet more than 19,500 Miami-Dade residents have applied to FEMA for financial help with temporary housing, repairs, medical bills and other expenses they claim were brought on by Frances, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Sunday.

As of Friday, FEMA had approved 9,801 of the claims for a total of $21.5 million.

In Indian River County, hard hit by Frances and Jeanne with more than 49,000 houses damaged or destroyed, just under 14,000 residents had received $20.5 million in FEMA help through Friday, $1 million less than Miami-Dade.
