FEMA How to Apply for Assistance

1-800-621-FEMA (3362) / 1-800-462-7585 (TTY)
Disaster assistance is money or direct assistance to individuals,
families and businesses in an area whose property has been damaged or
destroyed and whose losses are not covered by insurance. It is meant to
help you with critical expenses that cannot be covered in other ways.
This assistance is not intended to restore your damaged property to its
condition before the disaster.
While some housing assistance funds are available through our
Individuals and Households Program, most disaster assistance from the
Federal government is in the form of loans administered by the Small
Business Administration.
Additional Disaster Assistance
http://www.fema.gov/assistance/process/assistance.shtm
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) can make federally
subsidized loans to repair or replace homes, personal property or
businesses that sustained damages not covered by insurance.
The Small Business Administration can provide three types of disaster
loans to qualified homeowners and businesses:
home disaster loans to homeowners and renters to repair or replace
disaster-related damages to home or personal property,
business physical disaster loans to business owners to repair or
replace disaster-damaged property, including inventory, and supplies;
and
economic injury disaster loans, which provide capital to small
businesses and to small agricultural cooperatives to assist them
through the disaster recovery period.
For many individuals the SBA disaster loan program is the primary form
of disaster assistance. Learn how to apply for SBA disaster loan
assistance. http://www.fema.gov/assistance/process/sba_assistance.shtm
