Disaster survivors may need to provide documentation to help FEMA evaluate their eligibility, such as documents pertaining to proof of occupancy, ownership, income loss, and/or information concerning an applicant’s housing situation prior to the disaster. Insurance policies are to be validated prior to the release of any funding.

The message is then disseminated from the local government/tribes into the communities and provide details on how to register. The individual(s) have 60 days from the date of Individual Assistance declaration to register for assistance.
FEMA may extend the registration period when the state or territorial/tribal government requests more time to collect registrations from the affected population. If the registration deadline is missed, FEMA will accept late registrations for an additional 60 days with a letter detailing the extenuating circumstances from the applicant with accompanying documentation, if applicable.
Disaster survivors can apply via the internet at https://www. disasterassistance. gov or via smartphone by downloading the FEMA application from https://www.
fema. gov or through Apple/GooglePlay app store on their phone/tablet. Impacted individuals can also call the toll-free helpline, 1-800-621-3362 to register for assistance or check on their application that has already been submitted.

FEMA may also send staff, or Disaster Survivor Assistance (DSA) Teams, into the communities to help those in need apply for IHP assistance, and would be equipped with computers or similar devices to assist in the registration and/or provide them with referrals to other resources.
