I don't know yet how much damage has been done. My septic tank is damaged but not sure if it can be repaired or will need replaced. The flood water came into my living room and garage which sit about eight inches lower than the rest of the house and I am concerned about possible damage to my heating/cooling ducts and water pipes but I have not yet been in the crawlspace because the only way to get there is through an opening in the floor of my bedroom closet and I have lots of clothes/coats and stuff on my bedroom floor from my everyday clutter. We have been working on clearing obviously damaged stuff so I have not got to that part yet.

I talked to FEMA yesterday at their mobile office near me and got some information and paperwork to start the process. They took some information and then told me to use their phone to talk to someone else from FEMA and she told me they would need my son and my social sec numbers and my bank acct number if we wanted direct depost (which we do because my post office got flooded and they are working from a camping trailer still). There were a lot of people waiting and I didn't want to give out that information that they could hear so I told her I would call from home.

It would be easiest for me to do it online but I don't have a working printer and previously used the printer at the local library but I cannot access the library yet because they are located in the shopping plaza where the bridge washed out.
