As if the economy wasn’t bad enough, residents throughout Georgia are quickly learning they don’t have as much protection in place as they originally thought especially when it comes to flood damage. Despite their own financial constraints, many residents of Powder Springs are reaching out to help those most impacted by severe flooding while trying to minimize the potential for even more damage.
Although flood insurance is mandatory for real estate located in “high risk” or known flood prone areas, much of the recent flood damage is outside the typical zone associated with water damage. Many homeowners are in for a shocking surprise when they call in a claim only to learn they do not have flood insurance.
Fortunately, caring citizens can help those most in need in a variety of different ways.
Charity – The Red Cross and many local charity organizations are quickly coming to the rescue of those most impacted by the recent flood waters; concerned citizens of Powder Springs that would like to help are reminded to deal directly with a known charity in order to avoid fraud and abuse. It’s important that assistance gets to those in need in a timely manner. Churches, medical facilities and organizations that assist pets are popular charities that need your help.
The Gift of Time – Clean-up crews, baby-sitters, temporary pet adoption services and other gifts of time mean more than ever especially as people try to put their lives back together. Whether you act alone or coordinate with friends, family and neighbors, giving the gift of time is one of the most important contributions you can make.
Gift Certificates – If you know someone personally impacted by flood damage chances are they have a great number of needs; consider giving a gift certificate to a local grocery store, hardware store or even pay to have all or a part of their water damage and flood recovery services provided by a professional company. Some areas are actually adopting a family or household in need of repairs by contracting directly with a reputable flood recovery company that is certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration. Not only does it reduce the cost associated with repairs but substantially impacts the entire functioning of the family by keeping people in their homes without the risk of disease or further damage. Kiwi provides Powder springs water damage, flood damage and extraction services.
