If your home is damaged by a tornado, there are several programs that can help with the cost of repairs or replacement. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assists homeowners affected by disasters such as tornadoes. The Small Business Administration (SBA) also provides low-interest loans to homeowners to repair or replace their homes. Finally, many insurance companies offer disaster assistance programs that can help cover the cost of tornado damage.
