How To Apply For FEMA Assistance
Due to Hurricane Sandy, we would like to pass along some pertinent information regarding FEMA and how to apply for assistance that is available on the FEMA website. The information below was provided by our friends at The Insurance Center Of North Jersey. For more up to date Hurricane Sandy information, I suggest that you visit their blog at icnj.wordpress.com.
HOW TO APPLY FOR ASSISTANCE
- Those in the county designated for assistance to affected residents and business owners can begin the disaster application process by registering online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov, by web enabled mobile device at m.fema.gov or by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362).The toll-free telephone numbers are available from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. (local time) Monday through Sunday until further notice. Applicants registering for aid should be prepared to provide basic information about themselves (name, permanent address, phone number), insurance coverage and any other information to help substantiate losses.
- Application procedures for local and state governments will be explained at a series of federal/state applicant briefings with locations to be announced in the affected area by recovery officials. Approved mitigation projects are paid through the state from funding provided by FEMA and other participating federal agencies.
We hope you find this information helpful as you begin the process of rebuilding.
