How Do I Apply For Disaster Assistance?
Apply at www.DisasterAssistance.gov
Call (800) 621-3362. The TTY number is (800) 462-7585
When you apply we will ask for the following information:

• The address of your damaged home or apartment.
• Names of people living in your household.
• A description of your disaster damages.
• Insurance information.
• Your Social Security Number.
• A telephone number where we can reach you or leave a message.
• An address where you can get mail.
• If you want your disaster assistance funds sent directly to your bank, provide the FEMA agent with you bank account type, account number, routing number.

When you apply, you will be given a FEMA application number. Write down your application number and save it for future reference. You will need the application number whenever you contact FEMA.

Insurance is esstential in any recovery process. If you've been affected by the disaster, make sure you call your insurance company and file a claim. Only damages that are not covered by insurance can qualify for FEMA disaster assistance. By law FEMA can't duplicate benefits.

If you move after applying for assistance, be sure to let FEMA know your new address and telephone number(s). This will ensure that all disaster awards get to you without delay.
