The Federal Emergency Management Agency has become more personal in an effort to ensure they are reaching those are in need of their services.

Jay Moore, Public Information Officer with the agency, told the Daily News representatives are on the ground in disaster areas, visiting homes, churches and businesses in communities to deliver information about disaster relief programs.

We are out there, we are going door-to-door, speaking at churches and other places in the community, Moore said. If you think you may be eligible, or have questions, please let us know.

These guardian angels can answer questions about FEMA grants for home repairs, temporary housing and other disaster-related needs.

Representatives can also provide information about low-interest loans available from the Small Business Administration for homeowners, renters and businesses with losses not fully covered by insurance. Jimmy Gianato, head of the West Virginia recovery staff, said these personnel are travelling damaged communities get the word out about the help available to them.

We consider Community Relations to be the guardian angels of disaster recovery, he said. These folks are on foot from dawn to dusk working tirelessly to make sure everybody gets the help that is available and how to request it.
