First, local governments in cooperation with the state must decide to pursue a federal disaster declaration. If the local and state agencies determine that the extent of the damage is beyond what they can mitigate, then the Governor must request a federal disaster declaration from FEMA and the President. The request would be reviewed and, if it is signed by the President, federal assistance will become available. For more information on the declaration process, visit here.
The federal government also provides tax relief to individuals on uninsured loses because of disasters. For more information, please consult a certified tax professional and visit here.

The switch from analog to digital broadcast television is referred to as the digital TV (DTV) transition. In 1996, Congress authorized the distribution of an additional broadcast channel to each broadcast TV station so that they could start a digital broadcast channel while simultaneously continuing their analog broadcast channel. Later, Congress mandated that June 12, 2009 would be the last day for full-power television stations to broadcast in analog. Broadcast stations in all U.S. markets are currently broadcasting in both analog and digital. After June 12, 2009, full-power television stations will broadcast in digital only.
For additional information about the DTV Transition and what you may need to do to prepare for it, visit the Federal Communications Commission's Web site http://www.dtv.gov/ or call the Federal Communications Commission at 1-888-225-5322 (TTY: 1-888-835-5322). Or to request a coupon for a digital-to-analog convertor boxes, consumers can apply online at www.dtv2009.gov. The government also has created a 24-hour hotline to take requests, 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888-388-2009).
