One should note that generator reimbursement is NOT guaranteed. The consensus from the people I know in the Palm Beaches / Treasure Coast is that there is no concrete guideline by FEMA as to whether or not they'll reimburse generator purchases, which is rather distressing. What is clear though is that they make the decision primarily on need, with financial standing secondary. Meaning if you need a generator because your shut-in grandmother has a nebulizer she needs running, you can be sure you'll be reimbursed. If you claim need of a generator so you don't miss the ball game, it's a different story of course.

Here's hoping the best for everybody in Ivan's path.
