I am often asked after the legislative session concludes if I am glad to be home. The answer is 'yes' I am glad to be home, although my husband might challenge the 'at home' part of the answer. Even though we are not in Lincoln, we are still at work. The interim brings a variety of different legislative duties. Senators balance community events, legislative hearings and meetings, constituent services, in addition to our home, family and job responsibilities. I added shoulder surgery and physical therapy to that list; driving to Grand Island three days a week for physical therapy since we adjourned in April. The therapists bring a whole new perspective to the term 'arm twisting'. While this has slowed me down, I am progressing and hope a full recovery is near.

Following is a summary of key federal disaster aid programs that can be made available as needed and warranted under President Bush's major disaster declaration issued for Nebraska.

Assistance for Affected Individuals and Families Can Include as Required:

Rental payments for temporary housing for those whose homes are unlivable. Initial assistance may be provided for up to three months for homeowners and at least one month for renters. Assistance may be extended if requested after the initial period based on a review of individual applicant requirements. (Source: FEMA funded and administered.)

If you live in Hamilton County and were hit by the tornado and storms in May, 2008 you may qualify for federal disaster assistance.
