§ 1689.201. Grants for flood loss

(a) Upon receipt and approval of a sworn application by any person for nonbusiness or nonfarm personal property damaged or destroyed by the floods of July 1977, the Office of the Governor may make a grant to cover a portion of the adjusted loss.

(b) Total loss shall be computed in accordance with standards applied by the United States Government pursuant to the Civil Disaster Relief Act of 1970 and United States Public Law 92-385 for persons whose property was damaged by the floods of September 1971 and June 1972. The total loss shall not include any preflood indebtedness, business or farm losses, nor any loss covered by insurance. The adjusted loss of the applicant shall be the total loss less the amount received by the applicant from the Department of Public Welfare pursuant to the provisions of section 408 of the Federal Disaster Relief Act of 1974.
