FEMA reviews requests for reimbursement of the cost of a generator on a case-by-case basis. The maximum eligible reimbursable amount is based on a determination of the median cost of a generator sufficient to power an average-sized home. You will not be eligible for reimbursement if you purchased the generator after your power was restored.
Okay so I am an emergency preparedness FREAK! I love collecting my food storage, and 72 hour backpacks. I had been talking with dad about getting a generator because we have such harsh storms here. Anyways I am still thinking about it. Just for emergencies. I have been reading advice, and comments and I guess the best time to get a generator is after the storm hits. They will have a ton of them, but then as the info above says....it has to show that you purchased it while your power was out. Now this just isn't for when I have a thunderstorm and it is out for a couple of hours. It is supposed to be for major natural disasters. Well you never know when you are going to have this happen to you, so just in case I am putting out the word now. Florida, and Houston, and South Texas, and Louisiana are the only states and areas that qualify right now I think. Can't really find a list of the areas. ENJOY!

Getting a free generator ... after reimbursement
I was told that FEMA would reimburse me up to $800 for the purchase of generator, is that true?
