FEMA is Here to Help the Uninsured

ByTom Atkinson

FEMA’s financial assistance is geared to helping the uninsured and they encourage anyone who has lost their home in the wildfires to register on their system immediately. Details on how to do this are below. Registration is mostly online but uninsured victims of the wildfires can also speak to a human representative who will help them through the process in the computer lab at the Multi-Agency Resource Center (MARC) hosted at the Lane Events Center at 796 West 13th, Eugene, OR this Friday the 25th Sept.
