How to get FEMA assistance?

FEMA is offering individual assistance to victims of Hurricane Irma in counties covered by the disaster declaration. The zone for individual assistance has expanded throughout the week, and may continue to expand. Individuals seeking assistance form FEMA have 60 days to register dating back to the date of the disaster declaration.

FEMA is still in the early phases of assessing damage, and has not completed the surveys in some counties that serve as a precursor to determining eligibility for individual assistance. People can register for help through DisasterAssistance.Gov or through the FEMA App. People who do not have Internet access may call 1-800-621-FEMA (3362).
