A Project of CIRSlide16
Findings:
FEMA money after Colorado floods unequally distributed.
“
By analyzing FEMA’s list of households approved for grant money, we identified every neighborhood where at least 10 residents declared uninsured damage from flooding between Sept. 11 and Sept. 30.
Applicants in Weld County’s 80620 zip code received the most money per household in nearly all categories.
Fair or not, folks in that neighborhood received about 10 times more money for damaged personal items inside and around their homes than the next closest zip code.
