"The damage to the vehicle must have been caused by the disaster, and the vehicle must no longer be operable or safe to drive. Cosmetic repairs will not be covered," FEMA wrote.

• The vehicle must comply with state registration and insurance requirements.
• The vehicle must be owned or leased (not a rental) by the applicant, co-applicant, or household member.
• The damaged vehicle must be an approved vehicle type, such as a car, truck, SUV or van.
