Apply for Disaster Assistance
The fastest way to apply is through DisasterAssistance.gov. You can also apply through the FEMA mobile app or by calling the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. If you use a video relay service, captioned telephone service, or other communication services, please provide FEMA the specific number assigned for that service.
If you have insurance, you should file a claim with your insurance company immediately. FEMA assistance cannot help with losses already covered by insurance. Learn more about the steps after applying for assistance.
FEMA CLAIM BEEN DENIED?
If you believe that your application was not approved in error, or if you have additional information that could strengthen your claim, you have the right to appeal the decision or the assistance you received.
To learn more, visit fema.gov/assistance/individual/after-applying/appeals. If you have questions about your disaster assistance application and what you qualify for, call 1-800-621-3362 to speak with a FEMA representative.
Never agree to pay a fee to fill out an application - we will never ask you for money to apply for disaster assistance.
Ask to see a photo ID - all FEMA staff carry an identification badge.
