FREE PTSA BUS RIDES TO ASSIST WITH EVACUATION

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.
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.
