Here’s how to apply for FEMA assistance
Disaster survivors who suffered damages and losses because of Hurricane Irene should remember to apply for FEMA assistance as soon as possible even if they have already registered with voluntary organizations. Registering with voluntary organizations doesn’t mean that they have automatically registered with FEMA.
The only ways to apply with FEMA are:
- Call the FEMA Hotline at 1-800-621- 3362, TTY 1-800-462-7585. Multilingual assistance is available by phone. The toll-free line is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET.
- Register online at DisasterAssistance.gov or with a web-enabled mobile device or smartphone at m.fema.gov. Follow the link to “apply online for federal assistance.”
