Which group is typically least prioritized for Individual Assistance?

The group that is typically least prioritized for Individual Assistance is individuals with high incomes. This is based on the principle that Individual Assistance programs are designed to help those in the greatest need during a disaster. High-income individuals generally have more resources and financial stability, allowing them to recover from disasters without as much support.

In contrast, low-income households often face significant barriers to recovery, including financial instability, lack of insurance, and limited access to resources. The elderly and disabled individuals may also require additional support due to their unique challenges during disasters, further justifying prioritization in assistance programs. Therefore, the focus of assistance is on those who are most vulnerable and least able to recover on their own, aligning with the objectives of FEMA's Individual Assistance programs.
